Vacation year-round at this one-of-a-kind cottage on Couch Brook! Tucked away in the woods on a quiet dead-end country road, this charming rustic retreat offers the appeal of a getaway with the comforts that make it enjoyable in every season. Warm wood walls and cathedral ceilings create a cozy cabin feel, with an open living and dining area and kitchen. Step through the back slider and you’ll quickly discover what makes this property so special—the brook is right outside your door. A setting like this would be difficult to recreate today, making the opportunity to enjoy a cottage this close to the brook all the more special. Follow the wooden steps down to the water for a refreshing dip, sit along the bank with your morning coffee, invite some friends over for a barbecue around the firepit, or simply relax and listen to the sound of the brook winding through the woods. And while it feels like a true escape, the cottage offers the comforts of year-round living with heat, a private well and septic. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, vacation retreat or unique year-round home, this is one of those rare properties where the setting is the experience—and once you’re here, you may never want to leave.

ADU Potential

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
