Welcome to 16 Shepherds Lane— where natural beauty and thoughtful design meet hand in hand. This could be the private homestead you’ve always envisioned, offering peaceful seclusion while still just minutes from Route 101, Route 125, and shopping conveniences. This one-time owned custom 2001 ranch offers true one-level living on 5.61 private acres. Enjoy blooming lilac hedges, magnolias, marigolds, & more — along with lush landscaping, fruit trees, vegetable beds, a greenhouse, rich soil garden beds and wooded walking trails. Sustainable living with solar panels and geothermal heating/cooling. Inside, cathedral ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace anchor the living room, which opens to a private deck. The kitchen flows into the dining/office area and a peaceful three-season porch overlooking the private heart-shaped pond, occasionally visited by otters and home to fish. The primary suite includes a spa-like bath with a jacuzzi tub, while two additional bedrooms share a full bath. A two-car garage leads into a mudroom with built-ins and storage, as well as a half bath. The full basement offers expansion potential or a versatile hobby space. A separate in-law suite with its own entrance, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath is perfect for multigenerational living or rental income. A hummingbird and wildlife-friendly sanctuary — this home is one of a kind! Showings to begin at the Open House on Saturday, July 12th & a second Open House to follow, on Sunday, July 13th from 10:00-12:00pm.
