The land is special with a hilltop meadow, ideal for some critters or possible spectacular building site, mature hardwoods with great hiking trails and frontage on Hager Brook, all just 2 miles from the Dorset Green. The cozy 2 bedroom home exudes warmth with a 25x19 open kitchen/living space with wide plank floors, exposed timbers, a wood burning fireplace, granite and butcher block counters and a terrace & covered porch to drink in the sunset views. Finishing off the ground floor is a 1/2 bath and entry porch. The second floor has a guest bedroom with walk-in closet, laundry space, full bath and a charming primary bedroom with built-ins. Other amenities include a highly efficient ducted heat pump unit for central heating and cooling, full basement, metal roof, outdoor shower and detached one car garage. A perfect turn-key Dorset getaway or efficient smaller primary home! And for those who need more space, offering endless possibilities with a newly installed and permitted 4 bedroom septic and buried power.   Come see the magic of this property and wander back through the woods and listen to the music of Hager Brook Falls…
