Sitting on 3 beautiful acres with a small pond and ample outdoor storage, this could be your dream come true! Located at the end of a country gravel road, this property is private and tucked away, but still incredibly convenient. With a vision and little elbow grease, you can make this the perfect primary residence or occasional retreat. If you need to get high and dry from a storm, this property has a whole-house generator and is in the desirable flood zone C! The layout is functional and welcoming with a downstairs primary + en suite full bathroom and two sizeable bedrooms up stairs with a second full bath. The large loft space upstairs overlooks the living area and could be use for play space, office space, a reading nook, or whatever your heart desires. The covered back patio allows for protection from our summer rains while you're boiling crawfish or grilling. There is plenty to explore on the three acre grounds, like the small pond at the back of the property or the woods surrounding you. Plenty of wildlife can be observed and the peace and quiet will invigorate you. Schedule your showing today and come see all that this log cabin life has to offer you!
