About this home

Set back on 17 acres of natural beauty sits this simple Coldwater cabin, capturing the kind of quiet perfection that’s becoming harder to find. Thoughtfully uncomplicated and deeply inviting, it features a full kitchen, two sleeping lofts, and one private bedroom. This is a place where days unfold naturally; whether it’s morning coffee on the porch, campfires under the stars, or weekends spent unplugged from the noise of everyday life. This property invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and savor the little things.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
