What's special
Price reduced~~relocating owner is making it easy for you to say yes to this private country retreat with 4.35 acres and room to breathe. Tucked away at the end of a long paved driveway, this thoughtfully designed bungalow offers the rare combination of a newer, low-maintenance home and the privacy and freedom that come with acreage. Built by the current owner in 2018 as a personal residence, every detail reflects functionality and intentional design. Inside, the 983-square-foot home makes smart use of every inch, with an open living area and a generously sized kitchen offering an impressive amount of counter space and cabinetry. The layout feels comfortable and inviting without unnecessary space to maintain, with two well-sized bedrooms and a full bath completing the home. One of the property's standout features is the full-length screened front porch, creating an inviting extension of the living space and an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee, dinner with friends, evening or the peaceful sounds of nature. With the surrounding acreage just beyond, it is easy to settle in and enjoy a slower pace of life. Outside, the property offers a large carport, storage shed, long paved drive, and plenty of open ground for gardening, hobbies, equipment, outdoor recreation, or simply enjoying the freedom of having space around you. Solar panels add energy efficiency and help keep utility costs in check, adding to the home's appeal as a practical and low-maintenance retreat. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, a hunting or recreation basecamp, or simply a place where you can have more privacy and less upkeep, this one-of-a-kind property offers something increasingly hard to find: a newer home, meaningful acreage, and the space to truly enjoy it.
