Description

ONCE IN A LIFETIME ON SHAFFER! At first glance you'll see a nice 2414 sqft ranch style home with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, but look further at the details and you'll see that this home sits on a beautiful wooded 90 acres, has a 40x30 pole barn and a gorgeous pond. The open floor plan will be great for entertaining and the kitchen has been completely updated with beautiful cabinetry and granite countertops. The great room features towering vaulted ceilings and a pellet stove. New siding in 2022 and a composite deck were added and a new 22kw Generac makes sure you'll never be without power. The drainfield and septic were replaced in 2024 ensuring you'll have no plumbing concerns for a very long time. All of this on your very own 90 acre parcel, teeming with wildlife and trails running throughout. The pond is 30 feet deep and has a variety of fish. I sure would hate to see you miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a property like this that is only 15 minutes from Midland!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 19, 2024
