For $19,000, after a recent $6,000 price reduction, this secluded 1.5-acre property offers something increasingly rare: genuine quiet. There are no nearby neighbors or busy roads, just mature trees, open clearings, and a small creek running through the land. At the center is a simple 10×16 EF Hodgson bungalow that could become a weekend retreat, investment property, or peaceful place to escape everyday life.
The bungalow is unfinished, but that may be part of its appeal. Instead of buying a completely finished home, a new owner could decide exactly what to create. Ideas such as solar panels, a wood stove, and rainwater collection could turn the small structure into a practical and comfortable retreat. “The real appeal wasn’t that the bungalow was already perfect.” Its unfinished condition leaves room for someone to build a simple space around their own needs.
Outside, the property offers plenty of natural beauty and privacy. The creek provides a quiet background sound, while the surrounding trees create shade and shelter. There would be space to sit on the porch, read, write, garden, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. Summer would bring thick green foliage, autumn would add warm colors, and winter would create an even deeper sense of stillness.
Despite its privacy, the property is not completely cut off from civilization. Nearby hiking trails and Summit Lake offer opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and exploring, while markets and small-town conveniences remain within reach. That combination could allow someone to use the property as a weekend escape or gradually turn it into a longer-term retreat without giving up access to everyday necessities.
In the end, the biggest attraction may be what the property lacks: crowds, traffic, and constant noise. There is only open land, mature trees, a flowing creek, and a small bungalow waiting for a new purpose. “The land didn’t promise a finished dream. It offered the raw ingredients for one.” At $19,000, the property presents a chance to create something simple and personal in a peaceful natural setting.
