Description

Wide-open skies, peaceful pond views, & room to put down roots-your farmhouse lifestyle begins here! Priced BELOW APPRAISED VALUE and set on 4.97 beautiful acres of high & dry, flat land, this country retreat invites you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday living. Gated & completely enclosed w/wire fencing, the property offers space for farm animals, outdoor adventures, and all your RVs, toys, & equipment. A recently updated 3BR/2BA main home with 2,142 sq, a detached mother-in-law suite, generous workshop and storage space complete this versatile country setting. Inside the main home, warm farmhouse style creates an inviting place to gather. The dining room welcomes you w/a beautiful stone electric fireplace, setting the scene for everything from casual suppers to holiday celebrations. The stylish farmhouse kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a closet pantry w/a glass door, blending everyday function with country charm. A spacious living room flows into a flexible adjoining area ideal for an office, additional dining, or hobbies-or leave it open for one expansive gathering space. French doors open to the backyard, where pond views bring the beauty of the outdoors into your daily routine. The split-bedroom layout provides privacy for the primary suite & its en suite bathroom, w/the secondary bedrooms situated separately. The enclosed former garage serves as the 4th BR, complete with a closet, air conditioning and recessed lighting, while offering options for a game room, home gym, or office. The detached mother-in-law suite (743-sf) adds a welcoming space for extended family or guests. It includes 1BR/1BA, a living room, a full-size kitchen with eat-in space, and a laundry room, along with its own water softener, septic system, and drainfield. Bring the RV, the tools, and the projects you have been dreaming about! A 50-amp RV hookup with water and septic connections makes it easy to settle in. The 1,575-sf steel-frame building features a bay door and electricity, providing ample space for equipment, storage, or a workshop. Two 12x12 sheds and a 2 car carport awning offer even more covered space. When the day's work is done, gather around the large paver fire pit, enjoy the fountain in the pond, and take in the peaceful country surroundings. Whether your vision includes a vegetable garden, space for animals, or simply more room to breathe, this property offers the setting to make it your own. Extensive improvements add to the home's appeal, including new hall cabinetry in 2026; Evolve Stone accents on the front of the home & a water softener in 2025; and pantry improvements and the paver fire pit in 2024.
