Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this property immediately sets itself apart with a bold, flowing creek complete with a dedicated picnic and play area—an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. Much of the outdoor space is illuminated with solar lights for evening enjoyment and playtime. Meandering walking trails and established fruit trees enhance the land, creating a true homestead experience. The home has been thoughtfully and extensively updated, featuring a updated kitchen and bathrooms with high-end fixtures, new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and updated ceiling fans—delivering a clean, modern, move-in-ready interior. A standout feature is the 900 sq ft insulated metal workshop/garage, fully equipped with electricity, and a large air compressor—perfect for hobbyists, contractors, or anyone needing a versatile, self-contained workspace. The inclusion of two separate parcels (PINs 1623769 & 1623771) adds significant value and flexibility, offering potential for an additional homesite, resale, or long-term investment. Whether you're looking for a mini-farm, private retreat, or functional live/work property, this one delivers a unique combination of upgrades, usable land, and lifestyle features that are hard to find in today’s market.
