Units n/a

This might just be the most unique home in all of Brown County! The exterior of this home has a barn shape roof with a cupola for getting up close views of the birds and possible eagles soaring by! The cupola has a custom made ladder access resembling that of a library ladder and would be the perfect spot to read, meditate, or just enjoy the sights all around! The home sits on just over 2 acres and has access and view of the shared pond. Enjoy the outdoors from the covered patio on the lower level or the covered deck on the main level, both have a relaxing view of the pond and garden area. There is a detached two car garage with a 17'x13' workshop and 8'x13' office area not to mention an abundance of storage, speaking of storage there is also a 23'x35' barn with double sliding doors and inside you will find a 10'x15' craft room! Inside the split level home you are greeted with brick flooring the main level features an abundance of windows, double Brown County stone fireplace, open concept great room and poplar kitchen cabinets, walk-in closet and his and her bathrooms. The lower level has two woodburning stoves with Brown County stone backdrops, hardwood kitchen cabinets, large great room, bedroom, bathroom/laundry room and utility room. This home does NOT qualify for a short term rental, but is the perfect set up for a "Homestay" or bed and breakfast.
