Rarely does a property emerge that perfectly balances the rugged freedom of an equestrian lifestyle with the unique privilege of backing directly to the James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area on seven pristine acres. Your backyard serves as a private gateway to hundreds of acres of protected trails, lakes, and hiking paths. For the wildlife lovers there is ample viewing opportunities from anywhere on the property due to the conservation area directly behind the home. Whether you are an avid equestrian utilizing the four-stall stables within the 40x40 barn or simply a nature lover seeking a permanent buffer from the bustle of the city, this land offers a sense of seclusion that is truly a legacy find. The home itself is a gated entry and has been thoughtfully refreshed to ensure comfort and long-term value. Curb appeal is immediate, thanks to a recently replaced driveway, front walk, and stoop that provide a crisp, clean welcome. Inside, the residence is bathed in natural light through newer energy-efficient windows, while the lower level features stunning updated flooring. For those who love to entertain or unwind outdoors, the home boasts a dual-deck configuration: a spacious covered deck provides a sheltered retreat for all-weather relaxation, while a second open-air deck offers the perfect platform for stargazing or hosting summer gatherings overlooking your wooded acreage. Future potential is built into the very bones of the house with an unfinished walkout basement. This expansive space is a blank canvas, offering a rare opportunity to create a custom home theater, a private gym, or an additional living suite—all with the convenience of a dedicated walkout entrance. Combining the security of significant recent upgrades with the raw beauty of a conservation-adjacent landscape, this property is more than just a home; it is a private retreat designed for a life well-lived.
