Fifteen acres. Rolling hills. Room for horses, lake toys, and a whole new vision for country living. Tucked into the countryside near Ava, this property offers a combination of space and versatility just approximately nine miles from the Paul Ice boat ramp at Kinkaid Lake. At its heart is a spacious modular home with more than 2,400 square feet. Currently arranged as three bedrooms, it has potential to become a five-bedroom home. Inside, you'll find a living room, recreation room, kitchen, dining area, three bathrooms, and a utility room, along with a two-car garage. The home is currently used as a short-term rental and hunting cabin, and the owner would consider selling it furnished. Then there's the 3,664-square-foot building that makes this property stand out. Built in 2017 and currently operating as Long Branch Shooting House & Saloon, it offers a remarkable opportunity for a buyer with a different vision. Imagine the space as a workshop, a place to gather, or a future barn-style residence. It features two bathrooms, a walk-in cooler, ample parking, and a 17-by-71-foot porch. An additional 55-by-23-foot storage area offers even more room for vehicles, boats, or equipment. The acreage includes a hayfield maintained by a neighbor and offers exciting potential for someone looking to make a home for their horses. There's also boat storage on the property, and the heating and air-conditioning systems in both buildings were replaced in 2020. Whether your ideal day means riding, hunting, heading to Kinkaid Lake, or relaxing on the porch with a view of the countryside, this property gives you room to make it your own. Schedule a showing and come see the possibilities in person.
