Discover the perfect country oasis, set on an exquisite private 2.3 acre site poised comfortably above quaint River Road. Enjoy kayaking and/or bird watching moments from your doorstep at nearby Post Cove and the Florence Bidwell nature preserve. This dreamlike property is graced by a c.1917 "cottage", lovingly restored and enhanced by vaulted ceilings and a thoughtful one-floor contemporary addition, along with a spacious post and beam barn. The result is not just a house, but a lifestyle suited to artists, nature lovers, and simply anybody who values serenity, peaceful surroundings, and a well-appointed home with a flexible open floor plan. Skylights and walls of windows combine to create a sense of openness and oneness with nature. The kitchen features a tile floor, stainless appliances, quartz countertops and a vaulted ceiling. Oak flooring runs throughout most of the house. Three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a spacious studio with vaulted ceiling and skylights. The grounds strike a wonderful balance, with a mix of manicured landscaping, rock outcroppings, mountain laurel, rhododendron, a small stream, and a delightful distant water view. Plenty of room to roam for two and four-legged creatures. While the vibe is 100% country living, its only a few minutes to the community events, restaurants, markets, shops, marinas, yacht clubs, theatres and more to be enjoyed in nearby Deep River, Essex, and Chester villages. Make this dream lifestyle yours!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
