Discover your dream home on 3 private acres! Built with energy-efficient insulated concrete forms, this custom ranch is a true sanctuary just 12 mins from Jordan Creek and Badger Creek Lake. The main level boasts 10-foot ceilings, an open-plan layout, and a chef’s kitchen with custom oak cabinets, double convection oven, and a large central island. Includes 2 beds, 2 baths, and a private oak-detailed office.
The walkout lower level is an entertainer’s paradise featuring an oak wet bar, game room, and family room with surround sound. You’ll also find a 3rd bedroom, full bath, and a charming craft room with farmhouse sink. Outside, enjoy a "staycation" every day with a two-story 24x32 outbuilding, 24x16 hot tub/pool room, and an above-ground pool with deck. High-quality living meets ultimate tranquility!
There's some finishing touches that need completed here, like the lower level flooring in the bar and family room, the master shower and a bit of landscaping. Priced accordingly, build some equity by finishing these items.
