The...Exceptional Custom Ranch Home on Nearly 8 Acres Welcome to a truly special property offering just under 8 acres of beautiful scenery, privacy, and space to enjoy. This oversized custom-built ranch home was designed as an affordable luxury home, combining quality construction, thoughtful design, and comfortable living spaces throughout. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the generous room sizes—each space is thoughtfully proportioned to provide comfort without feeling excessive. The gourmet kitchen is a standout, offering the perfect setting for everyday living, entertaining, and gathering with family and friends. Quality was a priority from the ground up. The home features 2x6 exterior wall construction, foam insulation, and a truss floor system instead of traditional floor joists, helping create solid, quiet floors and a substantial feel throughout the home. No corners were cut in the construction of this custom home. The property also includes a 3-car garage, plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or outdoor equipment. Beautiful views and surrounding scenery provide a peaceful backdrop and make the acreage an exceptional place to call home. First time ever offered on the market, this is a rare opportunity to own a custom-quality ranch home on nearly 8 acres. A property built with pride, designed for comfort, and constructed to last.
