**Multiple Offers Received. Seller to review all offers @ 3pm Wednesday 11/26.** Welcome to a one-of-a-kind modern eco-retreat set on 11.81 secluded acres in the heart of Andover. Custom-built in 2008 with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and long-term durability, this thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers a rare blend of privacy, beauty, and low-impact living. Step inside and immediately feel the sense of volume and light: vaulted ceilings, bamboo flooring, and an airy open layout create a bright, comfortable atmosphere from the moment you enter. The living area is anchored by a wood-burning stove that, paired with the home's passive solar design and owned active solar system, provides exceptional heat with minimal propane use - even in the coldest months. Solar light tubes add soft, natural illumination without the maintenance of skylights. The kitchen flows effortlessly off the main living space, offering generous cabinetry, stainless appliances, and easy access to a versatile utility closet that can function as pantry storage or future first-floor laundry. An oversized bathroom brings in beautiful natural light and features a large walk-in shower. Both bedrooms offer high ceilings and thoughtfully designed storage, with the secondary bedroom featuring a built-in loft bed that maximizes space and adds charm. Downstairs, the full-size, full-height basement is a standout: pristine, wide open, and ready for workshop use or future finishing. Additional storage continues outdoors with a dedicated shed and endless potential for future outbuildings or a garage - the acreage easily supports it. Designed for efficiency from the ground up, this home is equipped with multiple heat sources, a propane furnace, and a buried 1000-gallon tank. All mechanical systems are original to the home (2009) and have been meticulously maintained. Refreshed interior paint, recent deck and siding updates, and a newly resurfaced driveway make this property truly turnkey. Outside, the possibilities are nearly endless: create gardens, carve out walking paths, build additional structures, or explore potential subdivision (buyer to perform due diligence). The land is primarily wooded, and offers direct access to some of the region's best recreation - Nathan Hale State Forest nearly across the street, Hop River State Park Trail, Bishop Swamp, the East Coast Greenway and Airline Trail, and the picturesque Andover Lake Loop. Also nearby, Andover Lake where members can enjoy non-motorized boating, paddle boarding, a lake beach with events and a gazebo, fishing, and bird watching. Whether you're seeking sustainable living, total privacy, or the perfect setting to build a compound, this is a rare opportunity to own an impeccably maintained, forward-thinking home on a truly exceptional piece of land.
