Introducing The Rabbit Hole, a one-of-a-kind, fairytale escape from all things ordinary. If words could sufficiently describe the magic of this 11.7 acre property, it might well take a novel. The character and charm of this property cannot be found in a formatted box on a website, but rather among the tufts of forest ferns and in each corner of this lovingly built dream cottage. It's in the locally hand-crafted cherry cabinetry and in the house-warming perfection of the masonry heater fireplace. If you crave efficiency but could never give up craftsmanship, quality, and quirk, this just may be your happily ever after.
