Let the country roads take you home! This one-of-a-kind ranch home has a location that is pretty as a picture. And it has the works --- on a hill with trees all around, a metal roof, large well-cared-for deck, front porch, asphalt drive and milled parking spaces. 2.57 acres for 4-wheeler/side by side riding, hunting, gardening and building! The home is equally as wonderful - beautiful hardwood floors in the living room, hallway and bedrooms, so many windows for gazing out and letting sunshine in, super classy kitchen with slate Samsung appliances and a family room with a fabulous working woodburning fireplace. The basement has a full bathroom, laundry, a bonus room, space to realize and built-in storage shelves. Recent well and well-pump maintenance by Reynolds Drilling. New septic and laterals installed. Let's get you set up with a showing appointment today!
