A True Country Retreat with Endless Possibilities!
Welcome to your dream estate! Nestled on 22.98 acres of serene countryside, this extraordinary property offers the ultimate in privacy, peace, and potential.

At the heart of the estate lies a handsome A-frame ranch-style home featuring classic cedar lap siding and a well-thought-out split-level design for privacy and comfort.

The inviting foyer welcomes you with striking Pecky Cypress walls, while the kitchen features a breakfast nook, gas range, electric oven, and easy-to-maintain Formica counters. The master bedroom includes its own entrance, fireplace, French doors to the backyard, a private bath, and stacked washer/dryer. The second bedroom offers another washer/dryer hookup, and the third bedroom opens to the outdoors via sliding glass doors leading to a 16 x 40 screened wood deck—perfect for enjoying the sounds of your very own wildlife sanctuary.
This stunning estate is home to wild turkeys, black-bellied whistling ducks, deer, and even the occasional bobcat family. The pond is stocked with tilapia for your private fishing pleasure.
