Tucked away on just over 4.5 acres of gently rolling, tree-covered land, this exceptionally private property offers a peaceful retreat with scenic views in every direction. Set far back from the road and accessed by a private driveway, the home is perfectly positioned to maximize both seclusion and natural beauty.
The residence features 6 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, offering flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Each bedroom is generously sized and can easily serve as a home office, gym, or multi-purpose space. The updated kitchen is equipped with an induction cooktop and opens to a cozy nook—ideal for casual dining, a homework station, or a relaxed sitting area. The large living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creates a warm and inviting central gathering space.
Beyond the home, the property is equally impressive. A 30x50 shop with a durable galvalume roof and spray foam insulation provides ample workspace or storage, while an RV hookup and storm shelter add convenience and peace of mind. Approximately one-third of an acre surrounding the home is enclosed with pipe fencing, offering a secure area for pets or outdoor enjoyment.
With an additional site ready for a second home, this property presents a rare opportunity to expand, host, or create a multi-generational living arrangement—all within a serene, private setting.
