Peace and serenity abound on this beautiful country retreat, which includes 3.26 acres of woods, fruit trees, koi pond and gorgeous landscaping! The 15'x30' cottage could be finished and used as a vacation rental, with its running water, electricity, two lofts, and insulated back room! Wander around the property and find a shaded picnic area, a fire pit and woods with a tranquil clearing. In the front yard is an abundance of fruit trees (apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry and pawpaw) and an asparagus garden. Enter the home through the front foyer and marvel at the high ceilings and spacious open floor plan. Step into the large kitchen with newer stainless appliances, an island and ample cabinetry. Gaze from there into the open living area and dining area with tray ceiling. Two sets of extra wide sliding doors lead out to the huge deck, which is reinforced for a hot tub and includes a natural gas grill, sturdy gazebo, and wooden railing. Step back inside where you will find the private primary suite, complete with ensuite bathroom featuring separate shower and soaking tub as well as double vanity and sinks. On the opposite end of the home are the second bedroom/office, second full bathroom, third bedroom and laundry room equipped with a dog shower, sink and plenty of cabinets. Just outside the laundry room is the insulated and heated two and a half car garage. The Owners spared no expense on the unique fans and lighting, tankless water heater, an extra tall, vented crawl space with a sump pump and extra insulation, plus extra insulation in the attic. You could consider this amazing property for your primary home or your summer home, with prime location in Galena township and the highly sought-after New Prairie United School District. Only an hour and a half from Chicago, very close to major highways and only about 15 minutes from Laporte, Michigan City, South Bend, New Buffalo and wonderful beaches, shops and restaurants.
