One of the advantages to this property is the renovation it underwent in 2015 where it was brought to the studs and rebuilt giving all new features including plumbing and electrical. Inside you'll be greeted with the living rooms' cathedral ceilings complemented by wooden beams throughout the main level, enhancing the rustic charm of the home. On the main level you will find an oversized master suite that exudes comfort and luxury, offering a private sanctuary within this beautiful setting. In addition to the main home is a detached two-car garage with living space, complete with a kitchenette and a full bath. Situated on a pasture-like 11-acre parcel, this property is thoughtfully fenced with a pond making it ideal for horses or livestock lovers. The white fencing adds to the property's aesthetic appeal, and the large porches provide the perfect spot to savor the beautiful surroundings.
