Welcome to your refuge in the countryside—an 11-acre homestead in Mercer County, built with care and purpose by the same family that’s called it home for over 40 years. Designed as a rural retreat to raise children, grow a garden, and tend livestock, this property offers both comfort and self-reliant living. The 4-bedroom home has two bedrooms on the main level, two upstairs, and a spacious laundry room. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the cozy living room, and the home is equipped with LP gas heat (2021 furnace and water heater), an outdoor wood boiler, and a Generac backup generator for peace of mind. A new septic system was installed in 2024. Outbuildings include a 20x26 shop with concrete floor and 16' overhead door, a 3-car garage, a 38x66 equipment barn, and a 31x45 livestock barn. With over 7 acres of fenced pasture, newer hydrants, and a great site for planting a garden and orchard, this place is tailor-made for the homesteading lifestyle. The surroundings are a mix of rolling pasture, hardwood timber, native prairie, and open ag fields. It is as peaceful as it is beautiful. Located less than 10 miles from Aledo, you’ll enjoy the quiet of the countryside without giving up small-town charm and essential amenities. If you’re looking for a place to build a meaningful life surrounded by nature, this is it.
