Private country retreat just outside Van Alstyne in the scenic rolling countryside of southern Grayson County. This special property is just minutes to Highway 75 making for a quick commute to McKinney, Frisco, Sherman or beyond, yet its private setting makes you feel like you are much farther away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This well constructed one-owner home was built in 1993 and is perched on a high knoll overlooking rich meadows and the beautiful tree lined Sister Grove Creek that is historic in nature and flows to Lake Lavon. The home features three bedrooms, two and one-half baths, a warm family room with wood burning fireplace, a generous kitchen with breakfast area and a formal dining room. Outside, you’ll enjoy the large covered gathering area for outside entertaining. The home has recent upgrades with new HVAC units, some new windows and a recent water heater. Bring your horses - fenced paddock, barn and equipment storage. Owner will consider seller financing.
