Welcome to your own private retreat on 9.17 beautifully maintained acres just outside Forest City. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home pairs the warmth of wood floors with the kind of efficiency that's hard to find in an acreage: geothermal heating and cooling, tilt-in Pella windows, a Kinetico water system, and notably low LP and electric usage year-round. Outside, perfectly manicured green space is framed by a mature tree line, and a stunning pond reaching approximately 14 feet deep anchors the grounds. An attached 3-car garage handles everyday vehicles, while an exceptionally large shop, with roughly one-third of it heated, provides tremendous room for equipment, storage, hobbies, or projects. A charming she shed adds even more flexible space for relaxing, creating, or entertaining. Whether you're looking for room to work, play, or simply breathe, this one-of-a-kind acreage delivers space, privacy, and low-cost comfort in one package.
