Peacock pavers add timeless elegance to the outdoor spaces, while the metal roof ensures durability and low maintenance. A 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, while the basement offers additional storage solutions. The wine cellar is another stand out feature for the enthusiast. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown Covington, this home offers both seclusion and accessibility. Whether entertaining guests in the expansive outdoor areas, boating along the rivers, or unwinding in the serene natural setting, this property truly has it all.
