With two bedrooms and two full baths, the home is cozy and comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The back of the house boasts several outdoor living spaces including a screened porch, a separate screened Florida room, and a spacious open wood deck each offering tranquil views of the land that once hosted the blueberry farm. For the artist or hobbyist, a separate art studio with a sink and ample storage awaits, while a large 1200 sq. ft. barn with two open bays provides additional space for storage or work. The possibilities are endless on this unique property. Whether you're looking to cultivate your own farm, create a peaceful retreat, or embrace the privacy and abundant wildlife, this island sanctuary is the perfect place to build your dream.
