About this home

A private sanctuary on 1.44 acres! This charming 3-bedroom cottage offers a rare blend of seclusion and natural beauty that you simply cannot find in a standard subdivision. The magical setting features a peaceful creek to explore after a fresh rain, where you can fall asleep to its soothing, gurgling sounds through open windows on crisp spring and autumn nights. Inside, the main floor boasts a functional layout with a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, a main-floor bedroom, full bath, and convenient main-floor laundry. Just off the kitchen/dining combo, a 16x10 covered deck is perfect for outdoor dining. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a versatile landing space. The finished basement serves as the ultimate entertainment hub, complete with a built-in bar and a dedicated gaming area. Outside is a hobbyist’s dream: a 24x32 detached garage with two 8’x9’ doors and an attached 8x32 carport, plus an additional 1-car garage for unmatched storage utility.

Agricultural District

The Agricultural District of Monroe County encompasses areas where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical resources generally provide conditions well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. The district is designed to prevent the intrusion of nonagricultural land use and development which would hinder agricultural pursuits by reason of congestion on public roads, chemical and biological pollution of air and water, environmental conditions, soil erosion, and the depletion of natural cover causing runoff of storm water onto and across agricultural land. The district is designed to protect and preserve the areas of high agricultural productivity and is intended to preserve conditions suitable to agricultural purposes. Anyone applying for a permit for a residence in this Agriculture Zoned District must sign a certificate that they are aware that there might be a sight, smell, or sound of agriculture business in the area.
