Description

Nestled on 7.26 peaceful acres on the outskirts of town, this one-of-a-kind property offers the best of both worlds - the tranquility of a wooded retreat with the convenience of nearby amenities. The property's natural setting features mature trees, winding trails, a small creek, a tree stand, an elevated hunting blind, and even a food plot, creating an outdoor paradise for nature lovers, hunters, and anyone seeking a private escape. A firepit area in the clearing makes the perfect gathering spot for family and friends under the stars. Step inside this well-designed ranch home and experience an inviting open floor plan with warm hardwood flooring throughout the main living spaces. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and gourmet kitchen, where you'll find a large island with breakfast bar, abundant cabinetry, and all stainless steel appliances-including oven/range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and range hood. Just off the kitchen, you'll appreciate a large walk-in pantry, laundry room, and direct access to the oversized garage with high ceilings, excellent storage, and room for a workbench or hobby area. The main level primary suite provides a relaxing retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual-sink vanity. The main level also opens to a full-length covered front porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, and a large covered back deck ideal for entertaining or grilling while overlooking the wooded backdrop. The fully finished walk-out basement expands your living space with a massive family room perfect for a theater, game, or playroom. You'll also find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a bonus room, and a huge unfinished area offering incredible storage potential and easy access to mechanicals. The basement leads out to a large concrete patio where you can relax and enjoy peaceful views of nature all around. Recent updates and extras include solar panels by Route 66 installed in 2024, a new septic system in 2022, and Culligan water treatment equipment added in 2021. This home is equipped with an efficient geothermal heating and cooling system, providing year-round comfort while significantly reducing utility costs compared to traditional HVAC systems. A lofted garden shed provides additional outdoor storage, while the backyard offers 3 apple trees and 1 pear tree for seasonal enjoyment. The home's thoughtful design and energy-efficient improvements provide comfort, style, and sustainability for years to come. From sunrise coffee on the porch to sunset strolls along wooded trails, every moment here invites you to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. If you've been searching for a home that combines acreage, modern living, and unmatched privacy-this is the one!
