Rolling meadows, endless skies, and sunsets that stretch across the horizon. The views surrounding this charming Golden Eagle cottage are nothing short of breathtaking. Set on 2 acres with a neighboring orchard just beyond the backyard, this updated home pairs beautiful countryside with timeless character. Inside, original refinished hardwood floors and warm woodwork shine, while thoughtful updates keep everything move-in ready. The main floor offers a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, cozy living room, full bath, main-level bedroom, and the convenience of main floor laundry. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunroom, or head upstairs to the second bedroom and flexible loft space, perfect for a home office, hobby room, or dressing area. Evenings belong on the back deck with built-in seating, where the sunsets alone are worth the drive. The oversized 2-car detached garage and 12x8 shed offer room for vehicles, a workshop, and storage, while metal roofs, updated windows, a 2026 water heater, and 2017 HVAC mean the major systems are already handled. A perfect weekend retreat or full-time home in the quiet countryside of Calhoun County, country living at its finest.
