Property Description
Contract fell through due Buyers financing, not the appraisal. Build Your Dream Home on 5.7 Acres Overlooking a Pond-Complete with Guest House, 3-Bay Workshop & More! Endless opportunities await on this scenic 5.7-acre property. Whether you're ready to create your custom estate or enjoy the thoughtfully designed guest house. This property offers comfort, flexibility, and room to grow. The guest house, built with solid poured concrete reinforced with steel and rebar, is exceptionally well-constructed and designed. On the main level, you'll find a spacious office with custom built-in cabinetry, a bedroom, and 2 sitting areas-one with a Murphy bed that can easily convert into a private suite with its own kitchenette and private entrance. Plantation shutters add timeless elegance, while a bright sitting room opens to beautifully landscaped grounds featuring a swim spa, expansive deck, and an outdoor kitchen. The custom Blaze grill with smoker is set within a built-in enclosure complete with a protective metal door-perfect for entertaining in any season. The second level of the guest house feels like a private residence of its own, complete with a full kitchen, living room, dining space, private balcony, a generously sized bedroom with two walk-in closets, and a full bathroom. Huge garage on the house with a kitchen area complete with a dishwasher located on an upper level of the garage and right by the grilling area! Guest house has an incredible garage with tons of storage and can accomodate 2 RV's. Car enthusiasts, light industrial work, and hobbyists will also love the huge metal 3-bay workshop with its own bathroom. This versatile building is ideal for storing cars, RVs, boats, or lawn/large equipment, and also includes an upper-level storage loft that could double as an office. An additional covered side bay provides even more space for equipment. With 5.7 acres of open land and a serene pond backdrop, there's plenty of room for equestrian use, gardens, or building your dream residence. This property offers the perfect blend of function, leisure, and future potential. The metal roof on guest house was replaced in 2022!
