Open concept living/kitchen/dining area on main level. Cozy up to the woodstove on cold nights while reading or watching your favorite TV show. Sweat it out in the sauna to relax, a bonus to any homeowner! The inground pool will be the center of fun during the summer season. Daffodils are already blooming and the garden space is waiting for planting. A hideaway shed is just beyond the tree line for those who crave a bit of solitude. The owner actually wrote one of his books there. Two car garage, mountain views and country living within a short drive to local lakes and ski areas. Did I mention hiking and snowmobiling? They say you can't have it all but this property comes close.
