An absolute paradise on 14+ acres, this rustic retreat provides over 2,300+ square feet of open concept, first-floor living in a bucolic natural setting. A winding 1800-foot drive leads to this remarkable custom-built home that is surrounded by trees and tucked back from the street for unbeatable privacy. Built by TriDoc in 2016, this home features quality 2x6 construction, an open floorpan with cathedral ceilings, and large windows that frame the acres of wildlife in every direction. Durable hardwood floors flow from the foyer into the open concept great room and kitchen, where a cozy wood-burning stove heats the whole house through the winter months. The kitchen features granite counters, durable cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an island with a soapstone counter and a breakfast bar. Off of the dining area, a screened-in porch provides vista views of the gently sloping backyard. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a convenient laundry room are on the first floor, plus, the walk-out lower level is plumbed for another bath. It is just waiting to be customized into a phenomenal guest suite, home fitness center, or media room. In Spring 2020, the homeowners planted 1,700 oak trees to preserve the natural beauty and native wildlife in the area as part of the Forest Stewardship Management Plan, creating a sylvan haven that will last for generations to come. Additionally, this home is optimized for efficiency and value, with geothermal heat that keeps utility costs low. East Ohio Tank storage lease generates roughly $500 in annual income. Surrounded by a large dairy farm, this home provides unmatched privacy while still offering an easy commute to area shopping, highways, and parks. It is equidistant to both Akron and Canton, and only minutes away from Portage Lakes State Park.
