Welcome to Pepper Ridge Farm! Rarely does an opportunity like this come along. Tucked away on nearly 5 private acres, this classic Mid-Century ranch offers the chance to create exactly the lifestyle you've been imagining. Whether you're looking for a manageable country retreat, a renovation project with room to grow, or the ideal setting for a custom estate home, this property delivers the foundation and flexibility to make it happen. The existing 3-bedroom ranch is solidly built and ready for its next chapter. Retain its mid-century charm and transform it into a comfortable, updated home with a finished lower-level recreation space, home office, gym, or guest area. The lower level is wide open space for additional living and storage. Or take advantage of the expansive acreage and create a significantly larger residence designed to suit today's lifestyle, while preserving the privacy and natural beauty that make this setting so special. Surrounded by mature trees, flowering rhododendron, dogwood, magnolia, blueberry bushes & pear trees, the property offers a peaceful, secluded environment that is increasingly difficult to find. A barn provides storage for lawn and landscaping equipment, and adds to the bucolic ambiance. There is ample room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, recreational amenities, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature from your own backyard. Mechanical updates already in place include: roof and double-hung windows approx 2016, furnace and full house generator approx 2021, and water heater 2025. A rare chance to secure nearly five acres and create something truly exceptional in a setting that feels miles away from everything, yet remains conveniently accessible to shopping, dining, commuting routes, and everyday amenities. Subdivision possible though not warranted. Being sold as-is.
