Located on a quiet country road bordering the 3,000+ acre Merck Forest & Farmland Center, this property offers incredible privacy and direct outdoor access. Perfectly suited as a year-round home, ski getaway, or mini-farm, it features some recent updates, including a propane furnace and electric hot water heater (both under 10 years old). The home does need some TLC, including new windows and a new sliding glass door, providing a great opportunity to build equity.
