Almost 5 acres and brand new major systems. Quiet country living without the risk. Set on 4.88 private acres, this Covington retreat delivers land, privacy, and peace, plus the confidence of major updates already handled. The home features a new roof (2025), new electrical (2025), new electric oven (2025) and septic replaced in 2024. The heavy lifting is done. You get the lifestyle without the looming expenses. A long approach with a circular driveway creates instant presence and convenience perfect for gatherings, multiple/work vehicles or simply that welcoming, estate-like feel. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the main living spaces, leading to a cozy brick fireplace and a character-filled kitchen with wood beams and a rustic brick backsplash that gives the home depth and personality. But the real flex? The land. Step onto the large back deck and look out over your wooded acreage and garden space. Where you'll finally have room for a workshop, expansion, more gardening or just breathing room can enjoy the many fruit bushes (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) and trees (peach, pear, apple) already planted for you! The neighborhood is quiet in the best way, no through traffic, no constant noise, just space and sky. If you’ve been waiting for something that feels more grounded, more private and more secure, this is your moment.
