If peace, privacy, and a little more room to breathe are calling your name, this Gates County property may be just what you've been looking for. Set on 5.11 acres, this spacious 2,118 square foot home offers the best of both worlds: a large, open homesite with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, surrounded by mature woods that create a peaceful and private setting. A welcoming front porch complete with a porch swing is the perfect place to slow down, relax, and take in the quiet surroundings.
Inside, the home feels bright, spacious, and inviting with a floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living. The large living room opens through charming arched entryways to the dining area and oversized kitchen, creating an easy flow between the main gathering spaces. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home, offering an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, a large center island with seating, and plenty of room for cooking, gathering, and everything in between. A built-in office area tucked into the hallway provides a convenient dedicated space for working from home, homework, or keeping everyday life organized.
The split bedroom floor plan offers added privacy, with the primary suite occupying its own side of the home. The oversized primary bedroom features a tray ceiling and plenty of room to create a comfortable retreat. The ensuite bathroom is equally spacious with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home.
Even the utility spaces were designed with function in mind. The laundry room doubles as a mudroom and includes a utility sink, additional cabinetry and counter space, washer, dryer, and an additional refrigerator. Permanent stairs lead to a massive floored attic, offering an incredible amount of storage along with exciting potential for future finished living space. The HVAC was also redone in 2026, adding an important recent improvement to the home.
Outside is where the country setting really shines. Choose your favorite spot to enjoy the fresh air with front, back, and side porches overlooking the property. The partially fenced backyard is dotted with fruit trees and includes a galvanized stock tank pool with its own pump for cooling off on warm summer days. Two powered conex containers offer additional storage or workspace, while an 80-amp RV power outlet adds even more versatility to the property.
With over five acres to call your own, a mix of open lawn and wooded privacy, generous living spaces, abundant storage, and plenty of useful extras, this property offers the room to spread out and enjoy a quieter way of life while still having all the comforts of home.
