a life you can grow into
This is a home for the buyer who wants to grow something, build something, and live a little more deliberately. Set on 3 private acres on Black Oak Dr, it has been shaped over 12 years by owners who paid attention to the details that make daily life feel calmer and more intentional. Mornings can start with a walk through your own orchard, and evenings can end quietly under the stars on your own deck.
The standout is downstairs. The dedicated movie theater room is fully insulated for sound and built around a 7.1 Dolby surround system, the kind of true home theater most buyers only ever talk about adding someday. It is already here, already done, and it is genuinely fun. The rest of the finished basement carries a fourth bedroom, a full laundry bath, and a rec room, so the lower level works just as hard as the space above it.
The mechanicals show that same stewardship. A closed loop geothermal system keeps energy costs quiet and efficient, a pellet stove adds supplemental heat and character, and 200 amp service handles whatever you plug into it. The kitchen features granite counters and tile flooring, bamboo flooring anchors the living room, and the one honest note is the older carpet in the primary bedroom, an easy, straightforward update. This is a property that has been cared for, and it shows.
for your unique situation
The appeal here is substance. Buyers looking for space, privacy, and a property that supports a self sufficient, green thumb lifestyle will find a rare and complete setup rather than a project. The features are done, the systems are efficient, and the land is ready to work.
The one thing worth framing clearly is the school situation. The home sits in the Saranac school district, but it has access to the Lowell school district bus stop and school of choice eligibility. That flexibility adds genuine value and is worth explaining upfront rather than leaving to assumption.
context that guides value
A property this specific, with an orchard, geothermal, and a finished theater room, is not a perfect match for a formula. The figures below place the home within the current range so the listing price reflects both the market and the home's genuine advantages.

positioned for its next chapter
This price sits at the top of the most likely range while staying honest to what the market supports. The strategy is simple and calm: present the home cleanly, let the private acreage, orchard, and finished theater room speak for themselves, and invite a single best offer. With features this rare and a property this move-in ready, we expect focused, motivated interest and a sale in the 400 to 420k range within roughly two to three weeks. The goal is peace of mind for you and clarity for the right buyer.
