Whether you're relaxing by the pond, tending a garden, or unwinding on the spacious deck while taking in the scenic countryside, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort and outdoor enjoyment. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the 24' x 36' horse barn featuring a heated tack room with water and concrete wash stall, along with a riding area and durable, non-yellowing vinyl-fenced pasture. Additional outbuildings include a 30' x 60' metal building with electricity and gravel floor, and a detached 24' x 24' garage with a concrete floor, electricity, and wood stove. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a versatile loft space. The main-level primary suite provides convenience and privacy, while two additional bedrooms and a loft are located upstairs. Inside, you'll find an eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops, an extra deep pantry with pull-out drawers, formal dining room, family room, and living room, creating plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. A wood stove in the dining area adds warmth and rustic charm. The unfinished basement provides excellent storage and future expansion potential. Recent updates by the current owners include Pella replacement windows and patio door, deck upgrades, and new carpet in the bedrooms. Shared pond access adds even more recreational opportunities to this exceptional country property. If you've been dreaming of a peaceful rural lifestyle with room for horses, hobbies, and outdoor adventure, this property is a must-see.
