Tucked away at the end of a secluded private road, Mercer K Ranch is a rare Lee County retreat offering 97 acres of rolling, wooded beauty centered around a stunning 10-acre lake. The ranch features three separate residences. Main residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, and expansive front and back porches positioned on a hilltop with views of the lake. The guest house has an open-concept living and kitchen area, connected by a screened breezeway ideal for hosting family, guests, or corporate retreats. The lakeside cabin offers a cozy charm with cedar wood finishes, open living and kitchen layout, and a front porch overlooking the water. At the heart of the ranch stands an original log barn dating back to the 1860s.. Rolling hills, mature oak, cedar, pine, and native hardwoods. Three additional ponds with water well supplementation. Rabbs Creek borders the ranch, while multiple tributaries wind through the property, enhancing both the beauty and wildlife habitat.
