If you have been dreaming of a home with warmth, character, and a true sense of place, this is it. Set on 10.38 private acres bordering Mississippi State University, this one-owner home offers the serenity of country living just minutes from campus and downtown Starkville. Wraparound porches invite you to enjoy morning coffee, evening breezes, and peaceful views of the stocked pond. There is a shed for your tools with a locked door and a barn (1800 sq. ft) with water and electric plus 2 concrete floored tack rooms. This can be used for animals or converted into small game day apartments. Inside the home, hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and a welcoming fireplace create an open, comfortable atmosphere filled with the kind of character rarely found in newer homes. Built with 2x6 studs for a strong stance on Windy Ridge. The thoughtfully designed layout also offers options for future expansion. Outside, the barn and expansive acreage provide endless possibilities for recreation, gardening, animals, or simply enjoying the privacy. Recent improvements include new windows in 2025, interior paint in 2021, new primary-bedroom carpet and primary-bath flooring in 2025, a new downstairs HVAC system in 2023, and exterior paint in 2024. Acreage, privacy, character, and an unbeatable location.
