About this home
Built to last, this cement block and brick home offers 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, constructed from floor to roof for lasting strength and peace of mind. A classic tile roof crowns the home, while original hardwood floors throughout the main residence add warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Set on 10 fully fenced acres with three separate pastures, the property is ideal for animals, privacy, or simply enjoying wide-open space. Mature trees provide natural shade and a peaceful setting, and the large front porch is perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings. A screened-in in-ground pool is currently covered and not in use, offering future potential for outdoor enjoyment. The main floor features a spacious great room ideal for gatherings, along with the primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom for convenient single-level living. The second floor includes additional living space, bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchenette, plus two separate balconies with water views—perfect for guests or multi-generational living. The walk-out basement was previously a fully self-contained 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and shower apartment complete with an open kitchen and living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, providing excellent flexibility for extended family, guest accommodations, or rental income. Additionally, this home includes a whole home 24k Generac that powers the whole house, guest cottage and barns. Additional highlights include a detached guest house with high ceilings and an open-concept layout, as well as a detached barn with water, electricity, two stalls, and ample storage. While the property does require some TLC, it presents tremendous potential for customization, restoration, or value-add improvements—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking acreage, privacy, and long-term upside.
