Built in 2017, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features an open-concept floor plan with mahogany cabinetry, quartz countertops, wood flooring, radiant floor heating, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the property features two natural springs, a permitted well, deeded shared water rights, approximately 68,000 gallons of water storage, dual solar systems, battery storage, generator backup, a finished detached two-car garage, and four substantial outbuildings.
