Introducing: The Secret Garden. Slow mornings begin here. Perched on a hillside adjacent to the gentle flow of Sandy Brook, this 1940 country cottage offers 36 acres of privacy, serenity, and timeless charm. The approach is unhurried. Perennial gardens unfurl along winding paths, trellises draped in climbing roses lead the way, and blueberry bushes promise sweet summer harvests. Step onto the bluestone-screened porch and it's easy to imagine lingering over coffee, the morning paper, and the soft soundtrack of the brook. Inside, the heart of the home is the dramatic living and dining room: soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace, and doors on either side welcoming light and nature in. The kitchen, thoughtfully positioned between the dining room and porch, features a propane stove, generous counter space, and room enough for a chef and sous-chef to work side by side. The first floor also offers two bedrooms, a full bath, a quiet office nook, and a mudroom, perfect for tucking away walking sticks and sun hats after a ramble through the grounds. Upstairs, a picture window frames the landscape. To one side, a bedroom (currently used as an office) opens to a balcony overlooking the stone-dotted backyard. Another bedroom and full bath complete the second floor. Outdoors, the level lawn invites games, gatherings, or moments of retreat. This is a home designed to seamlessly blend the boundaries between indoors and out.
