Here's a rare opportunity to own a well built home on 3 beautiful acres in the county with NO city taxes. Built in 1966 and lovingly cared for over the years, this property has only been sold once before, making this just the second time it has ever been offered for sale. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers 1,606 ft.2 of comfortable living space with a functional layout and plenty of natural light throughout. Known for its strong structure and good bones, the home provides the perfect opportunity for its next owner to move in and enjoy the charm and character of a classic, solidly built property. With 3 full acres, there's room to spread out, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy quiet country living and extra privacy. For those needing workspace or storage, this property is packed with possibilities. A wired brick workshop is perfect for hobbies, projects, or tools, and the additional metal shop provides excellent storage for tractors, lawn equipment, and outdoor gear. Whether you're a hobbyist, gardener, or simply appreciate extra space, these outbuildings add tremendous value and flexibility. Located in the county yet still convenient to Perry's shopping, dining, schools, and I-75, this home offers the ideal balance of peaceful rural living with everyday convenience. If you've been searching for acreage, character, and potential in a quiet country setting, 242 Lake Joy Road is a special opportunity you won't want to miss.
