A sportsman's and hobbyist's paradise. Totally private, with acres and acres of state land both in front and behind it, and the constant sound of a rushing stream, this solid-as-a-rock, built with huge Canadian timber beckons lovers of the great outdoors and seekers of seclusion. Yet, it is minutes into Phoenicia and close to skiing, but you can have your own personal hiking kingdom. Meticulously maintained by the current owner, a multi-hobbyist himself, it features a high-ceilinged basement great for storage or as a workshop. (Ask about a "secret" room that can also serve as a wine cellar.) If it's a major workspace you want, a separate garage-type building with electric can host any number of hobbies; and the garage, attached to the house, has plenty to room to tinker with mechanics and vehicles, as the current owner does. And grow your own veggies in a separate garden, home to the biggest and most beautiful tomatoes you've ever seen. The carved bear you see in the living room was carved from a big tree on the property, adding to the rustic feel of the property; and the house itself is laid out to afford privacy for each bedroom. A turn-key purchase -- and a treasure. (Closing is contingent on seller finding suitable accomodation but seller is actively looking.]
