Enjoy absolute total privacy, an unspoiled scenic mountain view, and, "you can hear a pin drop" tranquil serenity from this one of a kind 9 room 3 bedroom Canterbury log home located on a quiet secluded dead end town maintained road. While this rustic home and setting of country charm may not appeal to the "extreme make over professional staging T.V. show" yuppie type, the price for a location this remote in CT that also offers quick convenient access to casinos, seaports and beaches, makes for a rare opportunity for use as either a primary residence or second vacation getaway property. For our Tri-State neighbors from NY, NJ and Southern or Western CT with homes on postage stamp lots, check out these unbelievably low property taxes for a home on a 14 acre spread (you pay double and triple on the postage stamp lot)!

Here is a view from the front porch of the home.

Mohegan Sun Casino is 25 minutes away, Mystic Seaport about 40 minutes and Rhode Island beaches are about an hour's drive. Both Hartford and Providence (and their respective international airports) are about 50 minutes. Major retail stores and restaurants are minutes away. This area of Eastern CT is known as the last undeveloped area in the Boston to Washington D.C. corridor. For more area information visit www.thelastgreenvalley.org.
The home offers authentic log construction with wide board flooring. The present owners removed sheetrock on the second floor. There is a detached post and beam garage with a 9 foot overhang for tractor or wood storage. In the warm season, the kids and guests love the 16 x 32 in ground pool. The cabana has a screened in sitting area. The acreage has about 850 feet of road frontage and borders 200 acres of forest. The house sets 800 feet from the road. About 4 acres are open and the balance wooded. The property also lends itself to use as a mini horse property. There is a small pond and a bounty of stonewalls, some of which have been rebuilt. None of the donkeys, dogs or chickens convey with the property! Showings are by appointment only.

Here is a general location map, a lot layout map, and a topographical map.
