Private, Peaceful & Packed with Possibilities!
Tucked behind a private electric gated drive, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on 8.5 acres offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern updates. Step into the family room where a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace and soaring vaulted ceilings create a warm, lodge-like feel. Relax in the sunroom, retreat to the upper-level primary suite, or head outdoors to enjoy your private pond complete with a fishing pier—your own slice of paradise.
Entertain or unwind on the custom rear deck, store your gear in two separate buildings for boats and rods, and take advantage of the large and high 2-car carport—ideal for RV storage. Major updates already completed recently include crawlspace encapsulation, siding, HVAC, water heater, and EV charging staion, giving peace of mind for years to come.
This is more than a home—it’s a private retreat ready for its next owner to enjoy the land, the lifestyle, and the freedom that comes with it.
