A Tranquil Nature Retreat Studio Apartment by the Pond Welcome to your serene sanctuary just one mile from the heart of Yellow Springs! This beautifully designed 600 sq ft studio apartment offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and wellness opening directly onto a peaceful 100-ft fishing pond and touching the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the longest paved bike path in the U.S. Nestled beside a quiet horse pasture and surrounded by birdsong and wildlife, the setting is idyllic for walkers, cyclists, birders, gardeners, nature-lovers and anyone seeking calm. The studio features a private entrance and a lovely private patio where you can relax by the water’s edge. Inside, you\'ll enjoy a full kitchen, a luxurious cozy bathroom with a rain shower, and new spine-healthy furniture including a desk that faces a full-length window. The organic-cotton mattress rests on an adjustable, vibrating base to enhance your rest as well as your desire to sit up in bed as you sip coffee looking out the full-length window to the pond or rest your back while elevating your legs. Wellness-minded touches continue throughout: the lighting system recreates natural daylight with adjustable LED lights that mimic skylights as well as offer warm evening hues for a cozy ambiance. The apartment is elegantly furnished but can be rented unfurnished if you prefer. You\'ll also have access to a range of shared amenities: some storage adjacent to the unit and in the garage (for a bike or tools), a vegetable garden plot, hammock, griddle grill, and exercise equipment including a rebounder, elliptical, yoga mats, resistance bands, and even a badminton setup. Easy outdoor parking is included. The property feels like a garden paradise with greenery everywhere, and shared with a dynamic, friendly homeowner who lives upstairs. She’s a welcoming, social, high-energy world traveler, scientist, photographer, gardener, sailor, currently building a startup. The home atmosphere is peaceful with low TV or music usage, emphasizing nature and quietude. Outdoor smoking is permitted. Rent is $1,200 per month and includes all utilities, internet, and lawn care. Laundry is located in the upstairs kitchen thus is not guaranteed rather must be discussed with upstairs tenants depending on general negotiation. The price may be negotiable depending on your needs, background check ($100 off for security clearance) and willingness to contribute to the upkeep of the property. There is a 30-day minimum stay, with a credit and background check ($50), and references are required. First month’s rent, last month’s rent, and a security deposit are due at signing (or you may rent via Airbnb). Ideal tenant: Responsible, clean, warm, helpful, non- or low-smoking, not-heavy drinking, with limited belongings, works outside home, and pets are in enclosures. Interested?
