And the kitchen is totally dialed in with a gas cooktop range, all appliances included, and large counters that offer plenty of room for meal prep! 

A total of 4 bedrooms (all of which include ceiling fans) and 2 baths expand your possibilities, providing flexible square footage for you to transform. If you have an extra bedroom, you can set up the home office, hobby room, or home gym you’ve been wanting. Rest and rejuvenate in the primary suite, where an ensuite bath and direct outdoor access are included. 

If you’ve been wanting a dedicated place for your boat, RV, tools, outdoor toys, and projects, the large 36’ x 36’ detached shop is at the ready! The shop features a 40’ RV bump-out, a 12’ x 36’ lean-to, 50 amp service, insulation, power, windows, a 12’ x 18’ loft, workbench, and even its own security system. And an RV hook-up and underground owned 500-gallon propane tank are just a couple more of the features that ensure convenience. 

The rest of the property offers room for your imagination, entertaining in style, lots of space for play, and wooded beauty with paths to explore. Put your green thumb to work with the help of the greenhouse and garden shed, and embark on bringing your hobby farm dreams to life.
