Listing broker remarks

Fishing just across the country road, horses grazing in the field, nights beneath dark skies. Welcome to The Cottage at Trout Brook, a peaceful retreat, set on 6.25 acres, where privacy and simple living come together. Shaded by large maples, this charming cottage offers a main floor bedroom, 2 add. bedrooms and a room for a home office or guest room. Inside, a new furnace and a supplemental wood furnace, create the kind of cozy that make country living special. From the living room, listen to the sounds of the brook flowing nearby. A slider opens to the back deck, where you can enjoy a morning coffee while watching horses or livestock in the field. The flat pasture is ideal for horses, livestock or homestead living. A detached two-car garage converts easily into a barn. The garden shed, with electricity and a generous overhang, offers more possibilities for the homesteader. Dreaming of slowing down? The Cottage at Trout Brook is ready to welcome you! Interior photos coming soon!— Equine Homes Real Estate, LLC
