Your private slice of the countryside. 8 peaceful acres with room to roam, play, grow, and breathe. One-owner, thoughtfully built, and crafted with care, function, and family in mind. Over 2,500 square feet you step inside to find a traditional layout that still feels welcoming and flexible. Formal living room and separate dining area are ideal for hosting holidays or quiet dinners. The kitchen is as practical and inviting, featuring a gas stove and easy access to the cozy family room where an Old Timer wood-burning stove brings extra comfort during cooler months & doors lead to a covered deck perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The main floor also includes a versatile office that could easily become a fourth bedroom, plus a convenient half bath. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features his-and-her closets, a double vanity with a dressing area, and private access to a lovely porch. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a fun upstairs hangout space complete with a small sink and apartment-sized fridge, create the perfect space for kids or guests. Features include red oak hardwood trim, solid 2x6 construction, and cedar siding on the front exterior. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the expansive 8x40 balcony and 14x28 covered porch. There’s even Futiva high-speed internet, so you can stay connected. Two pole barns offer incredible versatility: a 30x40 barn with 16-foot ceilings, concrete floors, electric, and large overhead doors & 20x40 open face pole barn.
