Sitting on one of the highest points in Pender County this property has everything you will ever need. A well appointed 4BR 2BA home with maple hardwood floors, maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, 200 gallon propane tank, gas fireplace, high end Anderson doors and windows, 2 person whirlpool tub and decks all around the home with views of the nearby creek. This property has fantastic trails with hills and flat areas throughout the property installed by the current owner exploring the wooded areas, near the creek, as well as large open areas near the front of the property. Nature and wildlife surround you with morning greetings from wild turkeys to the occasional fox and bear. The power lines were buried on the property a few years ago to really make this place feel like you are off the grid but also has all of the modern creature comforts you could ask for. In case of a power outage there is no worry with your own 27KW generator that is hardwired to the home should there be an outage. Heating and cooling equipment approximately 3 years old. Cameras and security system to ensure you are safe at the property as well as keeping an eye on it while you are away. There is a chicken coop on the property as well as a large oversized detached garage with car port to the side. There are a few spaces below the home as well as a small workshop. The home sits on pilings to afford a fantastic treetop view in a dogwood grove. Whether you are having a 100 person gathering or taking some time off to yourself to recharge this property affords you the ability to unplug and get lost.
