Your private recreational retreat awaits -- without the 3-hour drive! Like a castle surrounded by a moat, this 10-acre beauty is nestled in a bend of the Rum River with over 1200 feet of shoreline and is a quick drive into Cambridge. This spacious rambler was rebuilt to the studs (2002-2004) with an addition and boasts over 2000 finished square feet on the main level, providing room flexibility and space like no other. Impressive, roomy kitchen with stainless steel appliances, center island, new tile backsplash and updated lights. Either side of the kitchen presents opportunities for informal dining, eat-in kitchen, family or sitting rooms....your choice! A separate hallway takes you past the laundry room and to the primary suite featuring a walk-in shower, jetted tub and a double vanity. The other side of this large rambler features 2 additional bedrooms, an office, full bath and a 22x12 living room overlooking the covered porch and some very picturesque flower gardens. If you thought the space and room flexibility is superb upstairs, check out the rooms downstairs: non conforming BR (17x11), family room (17x11), entertainment room (21x14), exercise room (23x14) and tremendous storage space. Plus, a rough-in 3/4 bath is ready for your finishing touches and the entertainment room just needs flooring for 294 additional finished square feet! Forget the cabin and bring your toys because you have it all here: fishing, canoeing, kayaking, ATV trails, mushroom harvesting. Also, boat launch nearby at the bridge. Attached to the garage is a large, heated, cement floor shop and a 46x12 fully enclosed lean-to. Oh, 5 sheds and the equivalent of a single-car garage also on the property! This home also boasts energy efficiency with Anderson windows, water softener and filtration, geo-thermal system (heat and AC), 2 water heaters and external drain tile system. New roof 2024. Pool table stays with an acceptable offer. This is a one-of-a-kind property, don't miss out!
