Thoreau would live here! Completely secluded yet in the heart of Orleans you will find this enchanting Cape retreat. Replete with cottage charm and in very good condition, this year-round three bedroom home on a pastoral acre abuts Orleans Conservation Trust land, ensuring the long-term privacy of this remarkable setting. Wander among hydrangea trees, perennial gardens, roses and mature evergreens. Enjoy solitude, nature and the steady stream of wildlife that visits the property from the wraparound deck. The one-story home is lovingly maintained, offering old-style cottage charm and modern utility. Enter the cathedral kitchen with its abundant natural light and an oversized center island that seats six. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and original knotty pine walls. A spacious primary suite, two guest bedrooms, a full bath and laundry complete the first floor. The lower level finished family room is perfect for office use or kids and rainy days. Central AC, hard-wired generator, irrigation, outdoor shower and a substantial detached 2 car garage large enough for a boat or substantial workshop/studio. A unique, natural oasis that will steal your heart.
