    Rare opportunity to own this beautifully maintained 2022 custom home nestled on 5.56 manicured acres of peaceful countryside. The main residence features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, soaring 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, porcelain tile, recessed lighting, abundant natural light, and a spacious owner's suite complete with a walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and relaxing jetted tub. The detached 483-square-foot guest house offers exceptional flexibility with 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, and an energy-efficient mini-split HVAC system. Currently used as an office and guest bedroom, it could easily accommodate a full bathroom, while the expansive attic provides the opportunity to create additional living space. A separate 300-square-foot outbuilding is ideal for storage, a workshop, hobby space, or future conversion into additional living quarters. The well and pump house includes a whole-home water filtration system, with an additional RainSoft treatment system in the laundry. Additional highlights include a durable metal roof, energy-efficient HVAC and windows, low-maintenance siding, rain gutters, and a 10' x 16' storage shed. The grounds are truly exceptional--beautifully manicured with endless possibilities, including the potential to subdivide the rear portion of the property. If you've been dreaming of peaceful country living with modern amenities and room to grow, this one-of-a-kind property is a must-see!
