Set on 2.87 private acres just outside Michaux State Forest, this equestrian retreat offers a rare blend of comfortable living and true hobby-farm infrastructure. The approximately 1,480 sq. ft. home features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with hardwood flooring throughout the first level, a kitchen with hardwood cabinetry open to the dining area, and two living spaces that flow together around a wood-burning fireplace with brick surround. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath, plus a bonus room currently used as an office with potential for future bathroom expansion. A composite deck at the back of the home offers a private outdoor space, while the front porch wraps around with views of the riding arena and meadow. The grounds are where this property truly stands apart: a barn with loft, individual 10'x14' horse stalls, hay storage, and a 40'x60' riding arena make it ideal for horses or hobby farming, while a 2-car detached garage and a small outbuilding suited for a chicken coop add everyday functionality, and a working outhouse rounds out the property's rustic charm. The Toy Box, an approximately 30'x14' outbuilding, is ready to hold all the outdoor gear, kayaks, motorcycles, four wheelers, you name it. The Lodge, a finished 25'x18' gathering space with electricity, ash wood flooring, and an adjoining room with natural cedar walls and carpet, has hosted countless gatherings and offers year-round entertaining space. A private stocked pond with bluegill and smallmouth bass rounds out the setting, with an electric pole already in place nearby for future use. Just across the street from Twirly Top and neighboring Good Keeper Farm, with everyday conveniences approximately 5 minutes away, this property offers privacy, character, and space rarely found this close to town.
