Some homes are designed around the house. This one was designed around the lifestyle. Situated on a deeded one-acre waterfront lot along the backwaters in Harris County, this property offers the rare advantage of a gentle, level walk to the water, making boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and everyday waterfront living easy to enjoy without long flights of stairs. A covered boat storage with power makes launching your next adventure simple, while peaceful backwater channels lead to a nearby rookery where blue herons, bald eagles, and other native wildlife can often be seen. The owners thoughtfully created the landscape as a year-round sanctuary inspired by the Azalea Bowl at Callaway Gardens, with azaleas, camellias, pollinator-friendly gardens, winding nature trails, and an impressive collection of fruiting trees including apple, peach, pear, plum, crabapple, persimmon, Italian fig, blueberries, and blackberries. Vegetable gardens, quiet walking paths, and abundant wildlife make every season unique. The outdoor amenities continue with a covered front porch, back deck overlooking the water, detached garage/workshop with running water, additional covered carport currently used as a greenhouse, and plenty of room for hobbies, gardening, and outdoor recreation. Inside, the open floor plan creates comfortable everyday living with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas, granite countertops in the kitchen, a spacious laundry room with room for additional pantry or storage space, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and a dining area overlooking the water. Offering three bedrooms and two full baths, the home adapts equally well as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or vacation getaway. Convenient to Hamilton, Columbus, Callaway Gardens, and Fort Benning, this is a property where mornings begin on the porch, afternoons are spent on the water, evenings gather around the fireplace, and every season offers something new to discover.
