Lovingly handcrafted house on North Peach Ridge Rd in an idyllic 5-acre wooded setting near Stroud's Run, with easy access to Athens and Nelsonville. We will be able to show the property probably the last week of March. But we can send you a "virtual tour" of the property by email. Anticipated move-in date, 1 April 2025, but that is negotiable. Vaulted wood-paneled ceiling in main structure, built-in cabinetry and bookshelves, flagstone floors, mix of hardwood and carpeted bedrooms, indoor rock garden (provide your own potted plants), wood fireplace insert with tall natural stone chimney, heat pump for heating and cooling, washer/dryer, and a gazebo with mosquito netting which can be used as social area or even a sleeping porch in summer. Rooms in the house can be configured as: 3 bedrooms, or 2 bedrooms plus a den, or 1 master bedroom and 2 dens or sleeping lofts. Ideal for a small family or a couple wanting their respective work spaces in a peaceful environment that invites creativity and contemplation. And a magical place for children! The property is also suitable for a visiting professor or other professionals wanting to live away from the student population. The property would be challenging for people who are physically disabled, or possibly very young children because of the steep driveway, steep stairs and ladders into loft bedrooms, and natural flagstone floors on different levels. Attached is an apartment with its own entrance, living room, kitchen with stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer, bathroom, upstairs bedroom and study/den area which could also serve as a dressing room. Suitable for one person. The apartment is great as a guest house. It could also be set aside for an older son or daughter wanting to be more independent. Or the apartment could be sublet with Landlords' approval -- an opportunity for a family member or friend to share costs. The apartment shares hot water, electricity and central heating & cooling with the house, and has a smaller washer and dryer set-up. The large workshop is a also shared space, in which Landlords may store a few items they use very infrequently. Deposit of $1,350 secures the dwelling, with monthly rent of $1,350. For subletting purposes or splitting the rent, we suggest a basic rent of $825 for the main house, and $525 for the apartment depending on your circumstances. But tenants are free to make their own arrangements about how to share the rent and utilities. * We expect exceptional housekeeping from our tenants. * We only rent to non-smokers. No smoking is allowed anywhere inside or out, to prevent health and fire hazards. * We are seeking stable tenants in stable relationships and steady employment who will call this home. * We will give preference to tenants willing to stay for two years or more. (Lease is renewable.) * Landlords are responsible for all repairs and major projects, while tenants are responsible for lawn care and routine yard work. * If you have a green thumb, take advantage of the sunny space formerly having an organic vegetable garden, or dress up the outside with flowers and potted plants. * We prefer no pets, but will consider them on a case by case basis with the payment of a small rental fee. * Tenants pay all utilities including cable and personal phone service. * Because of the property's remote location and scarcity of vendors for this property, a T-Mobile Internet account remains in landlords' names, for which tenants will pay a surcharge of $55 each month, added to the rent. The property may be available for viewing by the week of 24 March 2025. We accept the Zillow online application as a first step in the process. We may ask for additional information, and may request a personal (non-Zillow) email address to follow up. Thank you! Non-smokers only. Tenants pay all utilities, including internet service. House & apartment share utilities, which are not metered separately. Prefer two-year lease.
