5.5 Acres of Private Country Living in the Herscher School District *MOTIVATED SELLERS* Previous deal fell apart due to no fault of the sellers - THIS PROPERTY RECENTLY APPRAISED AT $475,000 - Looking for space, privacy, and a move-in-ready home at a great price? Just outside of Reddick in the highly sought-after Herscher School District, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on just over 5 acres and offers the kind of country setting that is getting harder to find. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by an impressive open living space filled with natural light. Soaring vaulted ceilings, oversized Andersen windows, and a dramatic two-story fireplace create a warm and inviting centerpiece for the home. Renovated in 2015, the layout flows easily from one space to the next, making it equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features custom Schrock cabinetry, abundant storage and workspace. The spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat, with large windows overlooking mature trees and open pasture. Generous walk-in closets and comfortably sized additional bedrooms provide plenty of room throughout the home. Fresh paint and updated window treatments add to the clean, move-in-ready feel. Outside is where this property truly shines. The property offers a combination of wide-open yard and mature trees, giving you room to enjoy the property in countless ways. Entertain on the spacious back deck, create the garden you've always wanted, add a pool or large pole barn, or simply enjoy having space between you and your neighbors. Tucked into the wooded portion of the property is a fire pit area that feels like your own private getaway-perfect for bonfires, evenings with friends and family, or creating trails through the woods for walking and recreational ATV riding. Mature trees along the neighboring side of the property provide a natural buffer and enhance the peaceful, secluded feel. There's even a chicken run already in place, plus a separate shed for additional storage. Don't overlook the garage. Heated and air-conditioned with attic access, shelving, and epoxy flooring, it's a comfortable and functional space year-round-whether you're parking vehicles, working on projects, or storing all the extras that come with country living. This property offers something that's difficult to recreate: a spacious updated home, 5.5 acres, privacy, recreational space, and the Herscher School District all in one package. There's room to entertain, build, ride, raise animals, or simply slow down and enjoy your own piece of the country. Motivated sellers-come see the property in person and imagine what you could do with 5.5 acres to call your own.
