Grounds

Mountain View Cottage is very nicely sited in the middle of the 0.63 acre lot.  Mature trees, shrubs and wonderfully configured foundation plantings mean that this property requires very little maintenance.   The backyard features a solid four board perimeter fence to keep kids and dogs safely in place.  There is plenty of open space for gardens and play, or just simply to enjoy the view.   The prime location on the edge of town means that your immediate neighbors on the west and north are pastures and fields and distant cows framed by a mountain  backdrop.  To the south is the rest of the town, separated by a little lane smothered in hydrangeas.  On the eastern perimeter is main street itself and a small picturesque Baptist church.  The expansive front yard has several new fruit trees as well as more mature plantings.

A small garage/shed building at the end of the paved drive can store a car, or lawn and garden implements.  There is plenty of space for garden buildings, a pool, or other outdoor features.
