Imagine coming home to more than five wooded acres, where the sounds of traffic give way to rustling leaves, birdsong, and the occasional visit from deer, wild turkey, or even a passing bear. This 4-bedroom, 2 bath Sanbornton home offers a chance to enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining within reach of the places you need to go. Inside, a newer addition creates flexibility that can change along with your needs. Use it as a primary bedroom retreat, a great room for gatherings, an office, hobby area, or a combination of uses. Below, the four-car garage provides room for vehicles, a boat, recreational equipment, workshop projects, and storage. Both gas and electric fireplaces offer warmth during the colder months, while warmer weather brings life outside. A tri-level deck provides separate areas for dining, grilling, relaxing, or entertaining, and the above-ground pool makes staying home on a summer afternoon an easy choice. Set on a level lot surrounded by dense woodlands, there is room to explore, garden, watch wildlife, or simply enjoy having distance between you and the rest of the world. Nearby Hermit Lake adds to the appeal, with swimming, paddling, fishing, and other recreation close to home.
