Backyard Bliss Meets Country Charm! Welcome to 389 Quail Ridge Rd, a stunning 1-acre lakefront retreat that perfectly blends country charm and modern comfort. This beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath home --built in 2024 -- offers the ideal combination of space, privacy, and recreation, whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time residence or a high-potential vacation rental. Since ownership, the seller has invested approximately $97,000 in improvements and upgrades! Two words describe this property perfectly: PRIVATE OASIS. Step outside and you'll see why--your backyard paradise features a sparkling pool (a rare find in DeFuniak Springs!), a cozy firepit patio, and an expansive yard with a serene view of the lake.It's an entertainer's dream, ideal for family reunions, weekend gatherings, or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings.
Adding to its rustic appeal, the property includes an auxiliary building currently used as a chicken coop, bringing a touch of country living while keeping you close to town for everyday convenience. The same structure (sold as-is) can easily be repurposed into a workshop, storage space, creative studio, or she-shed, offering endless versatility. The property also comes complete with hardwired security cameras for added peace of mind.
Inside, you'll find thoughtful upgrades throughout, including energy-efficient LED lighting, ceiling fans in all the rooms, remote-controlled ceiling fans upstairs, LVP flooring throughout, tile flooring in the upstairs bathrooms, and backsplash in the kitchen. The open layout maximizes natural light and captures a beautiful view of the lake, creating a welcoming, comfortable space for everyday living or entertaining guests.
