701 birch forest

Looking for a Somerville home with space, shade, and storage for the toys? Welcome to 701 Birch Forest—a private corner-lot property on about an acre, backing to greenspace in Birch Creek Forest, just 3 minutes to the Birch Creek Forest Boat Ramp on Lake Somerville and 3 minutes to Somerville State Park! This 2 bed, 1 full bath + 1 half bath home offers 1,120 sq ft (built 2004) with an easy open layout and raised ceilings that make it feel airy and open. Pier & beam construction, gutters, MUD water, septic, co-op electric, and internet available. The HVAC was replaced about 3 years ago, so you can stay comfortable year-round. Outside is where it really shines: a huge extended deck with built-in benches and a porch swing, plus a separate hot tub deck, fire pit area with benches, picnic spot, garden area, and a fun “Margaritaville-style” pergola cover—perfect for your grill station or outdoor hangout setup. All of it sits under mature trees for a truly peaceful, quiet setting. There’s also a short decorative fenced section off the deck. Need serious storage or workshop space? You’ve got a 28x16 two-story barn with electricity with roll-up doors, loft storage, and a floored interior, plus an attached 24x18 shed with gravel floor. Plenty of space to park an RV or boat (no hookups). Birch Creek Forest HOA amenities include a community pool, park, trash dumpsters, and the HOA-maintained boat ramp—so lake days are always within easy reach.
