Welcome to this a cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage nestled on 1.95 acres of gently rolling land. This home blends warmth and functionality, featuring a living room w/ a wood stove fireplace for those crisp mountain evenings, and a country kitchen that frames sweeping views of the surrounding Newfound Community.
