SELLER HAS CALLED FOR HIGHEST AND BEST BY 7:00 P.M. TUESDAY OCTOBER 5TH. The peace and quiet of Mink Hollow defines the cachet of this year-round retreat as Autumn settles gently upon us and leaves begin to fall in the quick crisp bursts of breeze. This property is surrounded by woods of birch, maple, hemlock, pine, beech and oak, interspersed with large and small boulders and rock formations. Deer stand their silent sentry as your car traverses the dirt and gravel driveway that wends its way from Mink Hollow to the magical clearing housing the cabin and gardens. Character abounds. The original cabin dates to 1904 when glass was wavy and wood paneling was de rigueur for rustic ambiance. More than 100 years later, many of those original details still exist but the cabin has been updated, modernized and enlarged. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace still defines and creates the den behind it, but it is now fitted with a Vermont Casting wood stove to ensure you stay pleasantly toasty on chilly nights. Designed for ease and comfort, this farm house cottage/cabin now has two bedrooms, a bath fitted with a stacked washer/dryer, a galley kitchen, and a combined dining area/living room. Outside the kitchen door is just one of the lot's majestic lichen-covered boulders - huge, its rough character smoothed over by the centuries and accented by encroaching ferns. Quaint stone patios surround the front and side of the home. A charming stone staircase leads to the meadow and lower gardens where the old well hand-pump reigns over its very own micro garden. The slopes of the hillock supporting the cabin and defining the meadow have been transformed into enchanting garden vignettes with flowers and herbs, one of which contains a waterfall feature active during rainy seasons. Yes, this is perfection. And it can be your very own 4- season piece of heaven. COME HOME TO MINK HOLLOW!
