Escape to this charming log-style retreat, tucked away on close to three private acres in Harvard. With timber accents, exposed beams, and a cozy cabin ambiance, this home captures the rustic warmth of a mountain getaway, paired with the convenience of being moments from Route 2. The exterior was recently refreshed with a new coat of paint, set against mature landscaping and established garden beds ready for your seasonal touch. Inside, the home radiates character and light. The kitchen features recently painted cabinets, offering a crisp, fresh feel that complements the warm, natural textures throughout. Beyond the three comfortable bedrooms, the finished walk-out lower level adds versatility with a second living area, a dedicated exercise room or office, and a full bathroom. The backyard has a fenced-in vegetable garden plus apple, pear, plum, cherry & peach trees, black & red raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes. The chicken coop that's ready-to-go and there are woods to wander in. Lots of storage in the unfinished portion of the lower level. Enjoy all that Harvard has to offer, including top-rated schools, Bare Hill Pond town beach, scenic orchards, and miles of conservation trails, all in town.

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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
