A half bath has already been started in the pole barn with walls and door installed, offering excellent potential for future completion. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the deer blind located on top of the pole barn, with convenient ladder access installed directly from the garage interior. Whether you enjoy entertaining, gardening, hobby farming, hunting, or simply relaxing in a peaceful setting, this property offers a rare combination of comfort, functionality, and outdoor amenities. Properties with this level of updates, storage, and usable outdoor space are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
