Nearly 23 acres of highly usable land with good soils and a pond, making it an excellent dog training tract or the perfect setup for cows, horses, or other livestock. The pasture is already fully fenced and ready to go, offering endless opportunities for farming, recreation, or peaceful country living. There's also a home on the property, making this an ideal turnkey homestead or hobby farm opportunity. Welcome to peaceful country living with all the modern updates already done for you. Situated on nearly 23 beautiful acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and room to grow.

The property also features a wonderful variety of fruit trees and berries, including tangerines, figs, muscadines, persimmons, plums, blueberries, and wild blackberries — adding both charm and functionality to this already impressive property. Major updates provide peace of mind, including new windows and a new HVAC system installed in 2024, a water heater that is only 6 months old, and a roof replaced in 2018.
