Enjoy this completely private natural oasis with your own pond on over 20 acres, just outside of downtown Temple! Essentially two homes in one, the main house was built starting in 1969 using lumber harvested right from the land. It has a mudroom with plenty of storage, an eat in kitchen with a wood stove, a large living room with a wood stove insert, a delightful screened in porch, a half bath with laundry on the first floor, and two more bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The two bedroom 1-1/2 bath apartment or in-law suite was added on in 2006, and also has wide pine floors and exposed beams milled directly from the property, and so much charm, including another screened porch over looking the pond. The two upstairs bedrooms share a 3/4 bath and laundry, and there is an artists studio and a workshop in the daylight, walk out lower level. Set well back from the quiet country road, there is an oversize three car garage with storage (or a workshop) above, and a wood shed on one side. The most amazing thing is the 3.0 acre pond - your very own! There is a small cabin near waters edge, and a dock from which you can fish or swim. Surrounded by nature, with high bush blueberries, this special property is like vacationing at home! Also included is a whole house automatic generator and a septic system installed in 2014. The exterior of the house was professionally painted in the spring of 2018. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own your little piece of paradise!
