New price-your private country escape just became even more compelling. Tucked behind a gated entry on 2.6 acres, this property offers something that's getting harder to find-true quiet, open space, and your own stocked pond just steps from the house. The setting is the standout. A private fishing pier extends over the water, creating the perfect spot for slow mornings with coffee or unwinding at sunset. Whether you're casting a line, watching wildlife, or simply taking in the view, this is the kind of everyday escape people move to the country for. Inside, the home balances comfort and flexibility with 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated flex space for a home office or hobby room. Multiple living and dining areas-including a media room-give you room to spread out, host, or just enjoy your own space without feeling crowded. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove for those who love to cook, while engineered wood flooring and new carpet keep the home feeling fresh and move-in ready. Even better, the major updates are already done: new roof (2025) and new HVAC (2025)-so you can focus on enjoying the property, not worrying about it. A storage shed adds practical space for tools and outdoor equipment, rounding out a property that's as functional as it is peaceful. If you've been searching for acreage, water, and a home that delivers a true sense of escape without sacrificing comfort, this one stands apart.
