Set on 10.88 wooded acres just 7 miles from the Town of Madison, this move-in-ready 3BD/3BA home sits on an elevated, private wooded lot. The main level offers approx. 1,700 finished sq ft, a 1,100+ sq ft finished walkout basement and a covered porch with wooded views. The open layout includes a fully updated kitchen, new LVP and carpet on the first floor, fresh paint, all new lighting, and refreshed bathrooms. A wood-burning fireplace warms the main living area and the finished basement adds a wood stove and the perfect setup for a spacious family room or recreation area. Recent improvements (2025–2026) include resealed and stained cedar siding and decks, an updated HVAC and propane heat unit, a new hot water heater, new gutters, and a septic clean-out. The home also features a portable generator hookup with a dedicated breaker box. With its acreage, privacy, and proximity to outdoor recreation, this property works beautifully as a full time home, weekend retreat, or potential short term getaway.
