Set on 74 acres and adjoining the Shawnee National Forest, 3085 Kaolin Rd offers the perfect blend of privacy and play. Fish your own two stocked ponds (bass and crappie), hunt or watch the abundant deer and turkey, and enjoy a burst of spring color as daffodils bloom across the land. A 30x40 pole barn with electricity and water is ready for projects, storage, or outdoor gear. The home includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,521 sq ft, and a walk-out basement that adds flexibility for recreation space, guests, or future expansion.
