Description

It sounds like a fantastic property for someone looking to enjoy country living! The spacious ranch with its 1920 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths offers plenty of room for a family. The finished walkout basement with an additional kitchen is a great feature for hosting gatherings.

The 32x48 pole barn is perfect for storing toys and equipment, and having a woodshop and an extra shed adds even more utility to the property. With 3.2 acres, there's plenty of space to enjoy outdoor activities, gardening, or just appreciating the natural surroundings.
There is invisble fencing for pets too.
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 September 26, 2024
