The drive across the pasture is part of what makes this place feel like home. Follow the rolling fields toward the woods and a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home comes into view, hidden from the public road. Set on 72 acres in Laurel Fork, the home features an award-winning passive solar design, a new roof and the kind of quiet that makes you want to stay awhile. All three tax parcels are included. The two parcels adjoining the home tract provide approximately 2,800 feet of combined public road frontage, offering room to explore options for an alternate private driveway. The home is currently reached by an existing right-of-way from Maple Shade Road. The entrance looks like a simple farm drive and is visible from the neighboring property, while the house itself stays out of sight. The property offers a potential second homesite overlooking Tory Creek. Separately, a second well in the pasture on the acreage with road frontage provides water for cattle. Inside, large windows frame the hills and bring in passive solar warmth. The kitchen features wormy chestnut and oak cabinetry, and a woodstove anchors the living room. The loft offers space for an office or reading retreat. Downstairs are a den, bonus area, third bedroom, full bath and utility storage. Outside, the fenced courtyard features a deck, raised garden beds and a curved brick wall. A barn and fenced and cross-fenced pasture offer room for livestock or hobby farming, while the woods give you space to explore. Follow the drivable path down to Tory Creek, spend an afternoon by the pond or explore the spring-fed branch. See the aerial maps in the listing photos for the full property outline, road frontage and existing driveway. Allow time to tour all 72 acres, from the roadside pasture to Tory Creek.
