Here is a testimonial from the current owner.
''If you love nature, wildlife, the environment, the healing sound of a flowing stream, the kind of quiet, winter wonderland where you hear only the snow falling, reading books or building puzzles by the wood burning stove, hiking out your back door, fishing, being surrounded by forever wild state land, mountain views, star-gazing (breath-taking!) being close to ski resorts, 4 distinct glorious seasons, this cozy home has all that and more. It's private, but not isolated.''

Listing includes additional 1/2 acre adjoining parcel. Home backs a thousand acres of Forever Wild State Land.
