Additional improvements include new plumbing, stylish light fixtures, a remodeled half bath, and new exterior window shutters. Large, airy bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, while installed Starlink internet helps keep you connected. Qualified buyers who use the preferred lender may receive waived origination fees and a one-year rate buydown, subject to lender terms and approval. Whether you're harvesting fresh fruit, tending animals, gardening, working in the new pole barn, or enjoying the security of solar-backed power, this special property offers country living with sustainability at its core.
