    What's special

    New metal roof
    Tucked away among mature trees on approximately 3 acres, 495 Holly Shelter Road offers the kind of peaceful country setting that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Set well off the road, the property provides a sense of privacy and seclusion while still being conveniently located to Jacksonville and its amenities. The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a bonus room that offers flexibility for a home office, hobby space, or additional living area. While the home could benefit from updates and improvements, it offers a solid starting point for someone looking to put their own touch on a property with character and potential. A new metal roof is already in place, providing peace of mind for years to come, while the home's setting among the mature trees creates a beautiful backdrop that simply can't be duplicated overnight. Outside, you'll find four outbuildings providing plenty of room for storage, workshops, equipment, or hobbies. Whether you're looking for a country retreat, a project property with acreage, or a place where you can create your own vision, this property offers an opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and the beauty of rural living. If you've been searching for a property where the land, setting, and possibilities are just as important as the home itself, 495 Holly Shelter Road is worth a closer look. The laundry drain connection to the septic system may need to be evaluated to ensure compliance with county/state rules.
