Situated on 12 beautiful acres in Kirksey, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers over 1,800 square feet and the peaceful country setting so many buyers are looking for, while still convenient to Calloway, Marshall, and Graves counties. The home has seen extensive updates inside and out, including a new roof in 2026, new exterior siding, updated main-level windows, updated plumbing and electrical, a newer water heater, and new well pump. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room, kitchen, separate utility room, and the primary bedroom and full bath all on the main level, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. A recently added back deck overlooks the acreage and is the perfect spot to enjoy the quiet surroundings. Outside, a detached shop and well house provide plenty of additional storage. With 12 acres, over 1,800 square feet, and generations of history behind it, properties like this simply don't come along often!
