Tucked away on a wooded 5.65-acre parcel, this spacious 4 bed/3 bath ranch offers privacy without sacrificing convenience. Located just a short drive from town, the setting feels secluded and serene, yet everything you need is still within reach. Inside, the home is designed for both function and comfort, featuring cathedral ceilings, a split floor plan with a main-level suite, hardwood floors, and a gas fireplace. The walkout lower level includes a large family room and a built-in sauna, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day outdoors. The kitchen is well-equipped with a center island and plenty of space for gathering. Outdoor features include a covered front porch, a back patio with hot tub, and Trex decking for low-maintenance enjoyment. The landscaped yard, paved driveway, and ample garage space, including an attached 2-car garage and garden shed, means room for hobbies, storage, or future plans. Additionally, a detached garage with full electric and power has the potential to make a great office, supporting a healthy work-from-home lifestyle. There’s even space to add a pole barn, and horses are allowed. For nature lovers, Boardman River access is just across the street, making this property a dream for fishing, paddling, or simply enjoying the water. It’s a rare blend of comfort, space, and outdoor access in a truly beautiful setting.
