Looking for privacy and seclusion? This 3-bedroom rancher offers just that, nestled on 4.5 +/- acres along a branch of Fowling Mill Creek Pond, where you can launch a canoe and enjoy fishing right from your own property. Surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife, including deer and turkey, this property is a true retreat for nature lovers and hunters alike. Inside, the home features a living room with a wood stove, a spacious kitchen with a dining area offering plenty of room for a dining table and a separate laundry room. The sunroom at the rear of the home opens to an expansive covered deck overlooking the backyard, the perfect spot to relax and take in the peaceful setting. Recent updates include a new roof and gutters. A large detached garage, formerly used as a sign shop, offers a tall overhead door and provides an ideal space for a workshop, storing outdoor toys or even accommodating a home-based business. An old horse stable on the property offers additional potential for restoration and repurposing. If you’ve been dreaming of a private haven with direct access to the outdoors, this property is ready to welcome you home.
