The main living space is characterized by its elegant granite countertops, hardwood floors, and a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and living room. It encompasses three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and abundant walk-in storage areas.

Additionally, it has a separate living room, a full bathroom on the main floor and upper level, plus 2 additional upper level rooms with closets (no external egress) currently used as bedrooms, and additional storage rooms.
The property includes a large attached garage providing approximately 2,800 square feet of open storage space with concrete floors, a drain, 16-foot ceilings, and oversized garage doors. It is heated, insulated, and features metal-covered walls, making it ideal for storing vehicles, ATVs, RVs, and more.
One of the highlights of this property is the 9.5-acre stocked lake that spans two-thirds of the front of the property. A large concrete bridge extends over a section of the lake. There is a boat launch and a jet ski dock for water recreation. An in-lake pump recirculates the water, creating a tranquil trickling waterfall along the path leading to the pond. Additionally, there is approximately 1 acre of pasture adjacent to the 4-stall horse barn. Behind the pasture, you'll discover 40 acres of secluded rolling hills covered in hardwood timber complete with trails for exploring.
