Vacation year-round at this one-of-a-kind cottage on Couch Brook! Tucked away in the woods on a quiet dead-end country road, this charming rustic retreat offers the appeal of a getaway with the comforts that make it enjoyable in every season. Warm wood walls and cathedral ceilings create a cozy cabin feel, with an open living and dining area and kitchen. Step through the back slider and you'll quickly discover what makes this property so special-the brook is right outside your door. A setting like this would be difficult to recreate today, making the opportunity to enjoy a cottage this close to the brook all the more special. Follow the wooden steps down to the water for a refreshing dip, sit along the bank with your morning coffee, invite some friends over for a barbecue around the firepit, or simply relax and listen to the sound of the brook winding through the woods. And while it feels like a true escape, the cottage offers the comforts of year-round living with heat, a private well and septic. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, vacation retreat or unique year-round home, this is one of those rare properties where the setting is the experience-and once you're here, you may never want to leave.
