Down a long driveway on an extremely private treed 1-acre lot, this charming 2-bedroom cottage-style home in beautiful Mill Bay offers peaceful country living with the bonus of a powered, insulated detached shop with loft space above & a carport. Surrounded by picturesque farms & small acreages, yet just minutes from the highway, this is an ideal commuter location. Inside, you'll find exposed wood beams, warm wood finishes, oak flooring, & an open-concept living space with a cozy wood insert & brick surround. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry & overlooks the serene backyard. Both bedrooms and the laundry/mud room are generously sized. Outside, enjoy the peaceful setting & mountain/pastoral glimpses. The property is serviced by a good well that produced 4 GPM at the time of drilling, & the septic system was replaced in 2012 with a recent inspection available. This versatile property full of potential in a highly desirable Mill Bay location is ideal for retirees or first time buyers.
