Tucked into the trees just five minutes from Richards Landing, this 2+1 bedroom backsplit offers a true country setting. A sandy-bottom creek flows gently along the back of the property, mature trees provide shade and privacy, and a circular drive with two entrances make it easy to move vehicles and equipment. The open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area is crowned by a soaring white wood-plank ceiling framed by windows that pull in light and forest views. The bright interior and updated kitchen is a true centrepiece - warm cabinetry, tile backsplash, stone-look counters, stainless fridge and stove, and a centre island for gathering. A woodstove anchors the living room, beautiful flooring runs throughout, and a long screened porch invites bug-free summer evenings. Main-floor laundry, two bedrooms, and a second full bath round out the main level. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a family room warmed by a propane fireplace, third bedroom/office, mechanical area, and concrete-floored crawlspace for seasonal and holiday storage. For the mechanic, hobbyist, or outdoor enthusiast, the large detached garage/workshop is ready to go for any project, complemented by a generous open-bay timber pole barn for tractors, trailers, or firewood, plus additional storage sheds. An attached carport keeps your everyday vehicle parked close with enclosed storage room and direct access to basement. Whether you're restoring vehicles, gardening, or simply need room for all your gear, the space is here. Well-equipped with dug well and septic, 200-amp electrical service, forced-air propane heat, plus a cozy woodstove. The 2.75-acre lot enjoys 400 feet of frontage on a year-round road, and furnishings are optionally available. A rare blend of private country living, four-season comfort, and serious workshop space - all on beautiful St. Joseph Island. (id:24093)
