Original owner! Larger 2000+ sqft 3BR 2Bth ranch on 1.5 acre lot surrounded by 55+ acres of preserved land. (Just one other house in close proximity) 24x24 outbuilding with oversized doors. Properties like this do not come on the market every day. The views are beautiful. Deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife frequent the area on a daily basis. The kitchen has been updated, with Pergo floors, SS appliances, and has both a wall oven and gas range with addt'l oven and opens to DR and FR that has custom built stone hearth with pellet stove. All rooms are generous sizes. The owners' suite is large w/ equally huge 4 pc bath including whirlpool tub, stall shower, sep toilet rm & 10x5 walk in closet. There are 2 hwhs, 1 gas, 1 elec, so you'll never have to wait for hot water! If you like to entertain, need boat or RV storage, etc, this could be the place for you! Great property for any outdoorsman/woman, someone who likes to "tinker", or just get away from it all! There's also a sunroom, deck and room for 7+ cars not including the rest of the driveway. When seller built this home, he was mindful of comfort and efficiency-many great features! Smyrna School district (may be possible to choice) and just minutes from major routes!!
