Property Description
Tucked into 13 private acres in the quiet woods of Freedom, just a short drive from Belfast, Unity, and the renowned Lost Kitchen, this Latvian-inspired chalet features a rare combination of European charm, energy efficiency, and natural beauty. A winding stone path leads to the thoughtfully sited home, designed to capture passive solar gain through triple-glazed European windows. Rooftop solar panels enhance the home's energy performance while maintaining a reliable grid connection. Inside, the first floor welcomes you with an open and light-filled layout anchored by a central chimney and cozy cookstove. Oversized windows invite the outdoors in, while warm oak floors and custom woodwork add richness and texture throughout. The galley-style kitchen features stone countertops and thoughtful craftsmanship, and the full bath includes a classic cast iron clawfoot tub. Upstairs, a flexible lofty space, currently used as a spacious bedroom and home office, features generous storage and a private balcony with views over the gardens and open field. This level can easily serve as a studio, creative workspace, or additional bedroom. (While the home offers three well-designed sleeping areas, the septic system is currently rated for two bedrooms). The walk-out lower level extends the home's functionality with two comfortable guest rooms, a sunny room perfect for seed starting or houseplants, a full bath with laundry closet, and a dedicated storage area. Outdoors, the property is a haven for gardeners and homesteaders alike. You'll find mature fruit trees, perennial beds, a greenhouse frame, and a mix of open meadow and woods to cultivate or explore. A detached garage and shed offer additional space for tools, storage, or projects. Whether you're seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, a small farmstead, or simply a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this beautifully crafted, energy-conscious home is a truly special offering.
