The land, laid out
Two ponds, open pasture, and heavy tree cover wrap around the homesite, with the pole barn and carport set just off the drive. Inside, a vaulted ceiling and open-concept design bring living, dining, and kitchen together, and the split-bedroom plan keeps things private — stained wood trim and cabinetry throughout.
Outside

Automatic driveway gate, rock landscaping, cross-fencing with livestock wire, and a pole barn for storage and covered parking.
