Your Ideal Country Retreat Awaits at 680
There are homes you pass by without a second glance, and then there are homes that stop you cold—the kind that call to you, even from a distance, and whisper that life can, in fact, be simpler, gentler, and more intentional. The property at 680, tucked beyond a winding country road and set against rolling hills and hushed woodlands, is exactly that kind of place. It isn’t just a house; it’s an invitation. A promise of quiet mornings, golden afternoons, and evenings wrapped in the soft glow of a porch light.
When you turn into the long gravel driveway, the world instantly slows. The crunch beneath your tires is the first sign you’ve stepped into another rhythm—one dictated not by clocks or calendars, but by birdsong, wind, and the changing light. The driveway curves just slightly, revealing glimpses of open pastures and old-growth trees before finally presenting the home itself: a country retreat that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.
The structure at 680 balances rustic charm with clean, contemporary comfort. Weathered wood siding, locally sourced stonework, and a sweeping wraparound porch give it the warmth of a farmhouse. Yet the expansive windows, crisp lines, and thoughtful architectural details reveal a home designed for today’s lifestyle. It feels rooted in history without being trapped by it—an ideal blend for anyone dreaming of an escape that still supports modern living.
But the magic of 680 doesn’t start at the door. It begins in the air.
There is a particular scent that lives only in the countryside—a mixture of pine, fresh-cut hay, earth after morning dew, and something else that can’t quite be named. It’s clarity. Purity. A reminder that the natural world still has the power to comfort and awaken you all at once. Standing at the edge of the porch, taking that first breath, you understand instantly why so many people long for a place like this.
Step inside, and the retreat widens around you. The entryway opens into a bright, open-concept living space anchored by a stone fireplace tall enough to demand attention but soft enough to embrace. The hearth is more than a design feature; it’s where winter evenings are meant to gather. Where stories unfold. Where the simple act of watching flames can fill an entire night.
The living area flows into the kitchen—truly the heart of the home. At 680, the kitchen is crafted not for show but for living. Wide countertops. Farmhouse sink. A generous island where coffee mugs, fresh bread, and conversations all naturally find their place. Sun pours in through oversized windows, illuminating shelves lined with pottery, cookbooks, and the subtle marks of a life well lived. The overall effect is warm and effortlessly inviting: a kitchen where families linger long after meals have ended.
To the left, French doors lead to a sunroom that might easily become your favorite room of all. Here, mornings feel softer. The glass walls offer a panoramic view of the property—the meadows, the towering oaks, the slow rise of mist in the early hours. It is a room made for quiet contemplation, reading, creativity, or simply sitting still and listening to the world wake up.
The master suite, tucked privately at the rear of the main floor, is nothing short of a sanctuary. High ceilings, gentle lighting, and a window that frames the sunrise like a painting create an atmosphere of stillness. The adjoining bath elevates that feeling even further: a freestanding soaking tub, an open-view shower with stone flooring, and warm wood accents that soften every edge. Every detail seems to say, “Rest here. Heal here. Breathe here.”
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer comfort for guests, family, or the creation of a studio, office, or retreat space. Each room holds its own view of the land, reminding you that nature isn’t just outside—it is part of the home itself. Natural light touches everything. Quiet follows you into every corner.
But the soul of 680 lies outdoors.
Step off the porch and walk the grounds, and you’ll discover why this property stands apart. The acreage is generous—not overwhelming, but expansive enough to feel like your own private world. The land rolls gently, dotted with shade trees and open spaces perfect for gardens, gatherings, or simple wandering. A small pond glimmers near the property’s edge, attracting deer at dawn and reflecting the colors of the setting sun each evening.
There is also a barn, solid and red with white trim, as iconic as a childhood memory. Whether it becomes a workshop, an artist’s studio, a home for animals, or simply a piece of preserved Americana, it adds unmistakable heart to the property.
As light fades at 680, the property shifts again. Fireflies appear. The temperature drops. The sky reveals an unrushed display of stars—thousands, bright and unobstructed by city glow. Nights here feel long in the best way, wrapped in a quiet that’s both profound and comforting. These are the hours when time loosens, when life feels simpler, when the noise of the world fades into the distance.
And this is the true gift of the retreat at 680: not just beauty, but balance. A place where simplicity meets sophistication, where comfort meets craftsmanship, where nature meets home.
It is a place to reset.
A place to return to yourself.
A place where your ideal country life doesn’t feel like a dream—it feels like a doorway waiting to be opened.
Your retreat awaits at 680. And it’s ready to welcome you home.
