The Hundred Acre Wood
Description
There's a certain kind of place that becomes a part of the lives lived upon it-felt in the quiet corners, the worn paths, and the way it all feels rooted into the land. After nearly four decades of care and stewardship, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to step into something truly established. Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood.
As you make your way up the drive, the land begins to unfold gently around you. A tree-lined lane creates a natural canopy overhead, guiding you in beneath filtered light. To the left, a broad, shimmering pond catches the light, complete with a dock that stretches just far enough to tempt early mornings with a fishing line in hand. Stocked with largemouth bass, it's the kind of place where time slips by unnoticed. Just beyond the dam, a second, more secluded pond offers another tucked-away retreat-also stocked and ready for quiet afternoons.
The land itself is a beautiful balance of open and wooded ground. Rolling fields-one stretching approximately 5 acres beside the home and another expansive 13-acre field-have been thoughtfully maintained and previously used for hay. A dedicated 5-acre food plot sits strategically within the property, drawing in wildlife and creating a natural hub of activity, with apple, pear, and persimmon trees planted at its center. With national forest bordering three sides, the sense of seclusion and natural abundance is undeniable and offers a strong habitat for mature deer, making this property just as enticing for the outdoorsman as it is for those simply seeking peace. Located just 9 miles from the scenic Eleven Point River and even closer to the Irish Wilderness, The Hundred Acre Wood is ideally positioned for additional outdoor recreation, from floating and fishing to hiking and exploring.
Woven through the landscape, a wet-weather creek offers both charm and practicality, with exposed gravel that can be harvested directly from the property. Beyond the practical, it's the details that make The Hundred Acre Wood feel like home-a treehouse with a zip line tucked into the field, swings placed thoughtfully across the property, and a meadow that has hosted countless picnics and long, unhurried afternoons. It's a place that invites you to settle in, spread out, and create something of your own.
Meticulously maintained over the years, the home at The Hundred Acre Wood sits comfortably among mature trees, offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Inside, you'll find a kitchen and dining area that feels both functional and easy, with ample cabinetry and workspace. Large windows bring in natural light and offer a steady connection to the outdoors. From there, the home opens into the main living area, centered around a beautiful stone, wood-burning fireplace-warm and inviting, the kind of space people naturally gather in.
The bedrooms carry that same sense of comfort-quiet, filled with natural light, and positioned to take in views of the surrounding property. The primary suite offers its own private retreat, complete with an en suite bathroom and sliding glass doors that open to a deck overlooking the backyard, while another bedroom offers a unique touch you don't often come across: a classic clawfoot tub tucked within the space.
Downstairs, a partial basement extends the home in a practical way, offering additional finished space for hobbies, a reading area, or extra sleeping quarters-flexible enough to adapt to whatever you need.
Just beyond the home, a 40x60 barn/shop built in 2018 stands ready for work or hobby alike. Inside, a 20x40 insulated shop area is equipped with a central vacuum system for dust collection, along with 220 electric to power tools of all kinds. Dual 12x12 doors create a convenient pass-through with a concrete floor, while an additional section with gravel flooring offers even more functional space.
A charming outbuilding-once used as a schoolhouse-offers endless possibilities. Whether imagined as a guest space, private office, or creative studio, it carries the same sense of purpose and care found throughout the property, with a nearby chicken coop and fenced poultry area adding to the homestead potential.
Over time, every detail has come together to create something that feels genuinely wholesome. Years of life lived here have shaped The Hundred Acre Wood, and at its heart, it's a place that has been deeply loved. Now, as this chapter comes to a close, it stands ready for whatever story comes next.
