This perfect gem of a home is located three miles down a dead-end dirt road in the most rural of settings. Surrounded by meadows, orchards, and endless woodlands, it is truly a retreat from the babble and madness of civilization.

The owner wishes to sell it "as it stands"...and, hence, the new owner needs only to move in, hang their pictures, put their books in the bookcases, and get about living in as peaceful and beautiful a place as one might ever imagine.

Beginning right at the doorstep, the thousands of acres surrounding the home are richly populated by moose, deer, bear, fox, ruffed grouse, woodcock, and an endless array of songbirds. The home is an easy drive to first-rate salmon and trout lakes (East Grand, Drews, and Nickerson) and a half-mile walk to two small trout streams.

700 square feet of complete comfort...gas heat, fine well, running water, electricity, satellite TV and satellite Wi-fi, Kenmore chest freezer, GE refridgerator, composting waste system (a full survey for a septic system has been completed and filed), a Premier four-burner gas stove, a Poulin chain saw, a full compliment of tools neatly arrayed in the garage, and a high-security gun safe.

All this has been maintained in like-new condition. The owner bought the home for retirement and has painstakingly modernized and cared for every inch of it. The only aspect which remains somewhat unfinished is the floor...which has been left as plain plywood. The owner raised hunting dogs, and, given that, it seemed foolish to try to have carpet or tile.

Modern and fully updated...pine panelled throughout, aluminium storm and screens, carefully insulated and "tight as a tick." Heating costs, in the worst of Winters, have been about $1,600 per year. Electricity is approximately $600 per year. Taxes are under $300 per year.

Equipped for any weather, the home comes with an 8000 watt (13,500 watt starting power) fully wired-in self-startiing Briggs and Stratton gas generator and a 9hp/28" Craftsman snowblower (both like new), as well as an in-wall Monitor gas heater to back up the regular gas heating system.

Recent additions include a delightful screened porch, window boxes, and a heavy-duty dog run with two dog houses.

The second story is now an attic but is easily expandable into living space with dormers and/or skylights.

The owner wishes to sell the house furnished. The furniture is what one would expect in a home and is well-cared-for, comfortable, and in satisfactory condition (it includes a double hid-a-bed as well as two extra cots in case visitors arrive).

There is a fenced vegetable garden of approximately 15' by 15'.

There is a woodland clearing about 1/4 mile behind the house complete with hand-made wooden bench, fire pit, and a good supply of dry wood.

The owner would consider selling a 14' Sears aluminium boat, 6hp Johnson outboard, trailer, life vests, anchor, seat cushions, etc, as well as a like-new Cabela's deerstand...all of which stores comfortably in a space created especially for them in the garage.
