New price—your private country escape just became even more compelling. Tucked behind a gated entry on 2.6 acres, this property offers something that’s getting harder to find—true quiet, open space, and your own stocked pond just steps from the house. The setting is the standout. A private fishing pier extends over the water, creating the perfect spot for slow mornings with coffee or unwinding at sunset. Whether you’re casting a line, watching wildlife, or simply taking in the view, this is the kind of everyday escape people move to the country for. Inside, the home balances comfort and flexibility with 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated flex space for a home office or hobby room. Multiple living and dining areas—including a media room—give you room to spread out, host, or just enjoy you r own space without feeling crowded. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove for those who love to cook, while engineered wood flooring and new carpet keep the home feeling fresh and move-in ready. Even better, the major updates are already done: new roof (2025) and new HVAC (2025)—so you can focus on enjoying the property, not worrying about it. A storage shed adds practical space for tools and outdoor equipment, rounding out a property that’s as functional as it is peaceful. If you’ve been searching for acreage, water, and a home that delivers a true sense of escape without sacrificing comfort, this one stands apart.
