Privacy that keeps
One of the best things about this property doesn’t show up in photos: the natural area along the south side of the acreage — just below the house and out toward the southwest corner — is set aside and stays that way. Here is what that means for the setting.
The natural area along the south side stays exactly as you see it. Nothing gets built there, cleared, or opened up — not by this owner, and not by whoever comes next. It is a big part of why the place feels this open and this private.
The shops & grounds
Three separate outbuildings, each with its own purpose.
3-bay shop
Room for an RV, two cars, and equipment or projects.
Shop / studio
A second, separate building finished out as a woodworking or art studio.
Potting shed
A dedicated spot for garden and plant work.
Sculptural driftwood yard art sits near the second shop — easy to miss, worth a look.
A place with real distance
Set back from the road with real distance from the neighbors, the house sits inside a loop of gravel driveway, brick walkways, and specimen trees — with the protected natural area visible below and to the southwest.

Please verify independently — the premium above is a quote based on particular coverage and underwriting circumstances, not a promise of the rate any buyer will receive. Buyers should confirm the flood-zone determination, their lender’s insurance requirement, and their own premium with their lender and insurance provider. Seller’s flood-history disclosure, if any, is provided separately and exactly as disclosed. Quote is not a binding rate — buyers should obtain their own.
