Looking for peace and quiet? You will find it here. You will feel like you are entering the Tara plantation from "Gone With The Wind" as you drive down the entrance beneath the giant Oaks on each side of the road. This is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with hardwood floors sitting on just over 9 acres. The property is fenced and cross fenced to provide pasture for cattle or goats. The home is over 2500 square feet of air conditioned living area with surround sound and an expansive screened front porch just waiting on your rocking chairs and you to relax and feel that evening breeze. The roof, all kitchen appliances, AC, and water heater are all 5 years old or less. Outside you will find two garages, one for the vehicles and one for a man cave or a mechanics dream shop with a hydraulic lift in place. Another great feature is the garden area complete with irrigation for the small time farmer. The property has been immaculately maintained inside and out. The Hardee Board exterior has been recently painted and the rear porch has been rescreened. Also included in the sale is 5 Angus heifers, 2 Angus bulls, 2 cross bred cows with 1 calf, a Massey Ferguson 50 tractor and numerous implements. This is a small farmer's dream, a turn key operation with all animals and equipment included.
