29 Old Forty Acre Mountain Road

Description

Built in 2005, it features separate electrical service, an oversized four-bay garage, propane heat, a drive-up second-floor workshop with an office and loft, with endless possibilities for work, recreation, or storage. Inside, the home showcases custom millwork, locally sourced wood, radiant-heated floors, central air, dramatic stone fireplace, and soaring vaulted ceilings. The versatile main level includes a bedroom with dedicated walk-in closet and full bath, home office, and multiple living areas, offering an opportunity for multi-generational living. The 2019 addition of the upper levels include the spacious primary suite provides a peaceful private retreat, while an oversized walk-up attic offers additional space for a studio, recreation, or storage. Ideal as a full-time residence or weekend lake retreat, this is far more than a home, it is a lifestyle property.
