A rare opportunity to own a spacious, tranquil retreat in Moodus. This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is set on just over seven private acres and offers a unique blend of open land, wooded trails, and peaceful water views. Set back from the road, the property includes a large front yard, a small pond with a dock, and a huge wraparound deck overlooking both - ideal for quiet mornings or gatherings. A crushed stone fire pit area adds to the outdoor appeal and is perfect for relaxing evenings. Inside, the home features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and tongue-and-groove woodwork throughout, all built around a massive stone fireplace that brings warmth and character to the main living area. The first floor has been updated with central air, new hardwood flooring, and the kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. With five large bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the home offers plenty of space and flexibility. A two-car garage provides additional storage and convenience. This is not your typical home - a peaceful, private setting with modern updates and natural beauty all around. Just a short drive to local lakes and the Goodspeed Opera House, this property offers a rare chance to enjoy a quiet lifestyle without sacrificing access to nearby amenities.
