Welcome to your own 5-acre getaway—private, peaceful, and endless possibilities. Situated on South Ketcham Road, this remarkable property is comprised of two 2.5-acre parcels, each with its own address—presenting the unique option to build a second residence. (Buyers are encouraged to consult with the county regarding restrictions and permitting). At the heart of the property is a beautifully updated 1,524 square foot home. As you step inside, there’s a cozy front seating area that leads into a spacious great room for living and dining. The kitchen is generous and bright, updated with new countertops and black stainless steel appliances. Nearly every corner of the home has seen improvements, including a new roof and gutters, new windows, updated bathrooms, modern paint, trim, doors, lighting, custom closet shelving, and a new furnace. Ask your agent for the full list of upgrades. Outside, the property shines just as much. A 38-foot long covered front porch offers a perfect spot to take in the peaceful views, while the new 22' X 56' back patio is built for entertaining or quiet evenings. The 24' X 30' detached garage is oversized and includes a new automatic door opener, a gas heater, and is already plumbed for a bathroom—just needs finishing. You’ll also find a 40' X 50' barn with four livestock stalls and its own 400-amp electrical service. It’s connected to the second 2.5-acre parcel, which is fully fenced and ready for livestock or future plans. This property offers space, privacy, and room to grow—all just waiting for you.

AG/RR
Agriculture/Rural Reserve District
The character of the Agriculture/Rural Reserve (AG/RR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for agriculture uses including, but not limited to, row crop or livestock production, forages, pasture, forestry, single family residential uses associated with agriculture uses and limited, very low density, rural non-farm related single family uses and not in (major) subdivisions. Its purposes are to encourage the continuation of agriculture uses, along with the associated single family residential uses, to discourage the development of residential subdivisions and non-farm-related nonresidential uses, to protect the environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplain and steep slopes, and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the AG/RR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the agriculture-related uses. The development of new non-farm residential activities proximate to known mineral resource deposits or extraction operations may be buffered by increased setback distance.
