A truly extraordinary Ashland offering! Set on 24.75 private acres along year-round Neil Creek, this cherished property has been lovingly stewarded for 43 years. The grounds are a masterpiece of nature, with rotational blooming Dogwoods, Trillium, Hydrangeas, cherry trees, lush lawns, and ferns creating an ever-changing canvas. The enchanting cedar-shake Cape Cod home features red Alder walls, open beams, honey oak floors, arched doorways, skylights, and 8' French doors. Gather by the copper-surround fireplace, certified woodstove, or soak in the Jacuzzi. The chef's kitchen shines with granite, marble, gas cooktop, island, pantry, dining bar, and built-in desk. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite with fireplace and balcony is joined by two bedrooms, a full bath, and a radiant art studio. A 16-zone irrigation system, fire-suppression pond, gas pump, mudroom, and furnace/workroom add comfort and security. This magical retreat offers rare peace, beauty, and timeless charm.
