This is the one you have been waiting for!
Homestead in the heart of convenience. Located on just under 2 ½ acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Outside city limits with no HOA, but a stones throw from everything you could need. Short drive to both bases, Lowes, Tractor Supply and grocery stores. House purchased brand new, and single-owners have made dramatic improvements: Kitchen has been expanded with custom cabinets for additional pantry space. The builder-grade laminate was replaced with concrete countertops. An additional cozy pantry space under the staircase provides additional kitchen storage and preparation space. Beautiful 12 inch-wide hickory open shelving, ceramic tile backsplash, and custom hood vent make the kitchen bright and fresh. SpringWell whole-house water filtration system installed. Built-in cabinets in the laundry room for ample storage, and tasteful Roman blackout shades on all bedroom windows. Updated light fixtures in the kitchen and living room. Custom antique brick fireplace with massive hickory lintel beam and cast iron wood-burning stove; never pay a dime to heat your house through winter again! 10 large raised garden beds complete with an underground irrigation system totaling 320 square feet of bed space, filled with compost and ready for planting. An additional 200 square feet of no-till garden rows of compost round out the garden that gets the best full sun! Start your plants early and grow through winter in the huge10' x 20' hoop house green house. Fruit bearing fig trees, blueberries, blackberries, and grape vines in the garden and wild fruit bearing grape vines have been cut back and managed in the forest. No pesticides ever used anywhere on the property, only organic farming and gardening. Side yard has been developed into a beautiful brick and gravel patio, complete with a massive brick bread and pizza oven built to the famous ''The Bread Builders'' Alan Scott's specifications. Backyard has been cleared and sodded, and a large land bridge spans the seasonal creek to connect the house to the back 2 acres. Move around the farm in a side by side, ATV, or even a small truck. Creek runs the length of the property line on the north side. Forest was painstakingly thinned without heavy machinery to preserve the soil, and peaceful foot paths weave through this now useable and gently rolling acreage. Could easily turn it into pasture, ready for your farm animals, or just enjoy the peace of mind that comes from having your own beautiful mature hardwood forest. Fall colors are breathtaking. Entire property has been fenced in with 4 and 5-wire electric fence. Just energize and go. Front yard and back yard separated by hard wood and wire fence with gates. Black poly pipe irrigation runs the entire length of the property from one end to the other, and custom whole-house gutters previously had rain barrels and can again to provide water to the farm and garden. Additionally there are numerous seeps and untapped springs on the property. This home is truly the best of both worlds.
