About this home
Secluded Country Living on Over 13 Stunning Acres in the City of Central! Looking for privacy, or ready to start a full-fledged farm? This slice of paradise has it all. Tucked behind a long, winding driveway, this custom-built 2015 farmhouse sits on 13.64 fully fenced, truly rolling acres and it delivers the kind of lifestyle most people only dream about. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich cypress walls and cabinetry, and windows that invite the outdoors in create an atmosphere that's warm, open, and one-of-a-kind. With 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout is cozy yet spacious, perfect for hosting or hiding away. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring French doors that open to a private deck with breathtaking tree-framed views, a built-in gun closet, and a generous walk-in closet. The en-suite bath is nothing short of spectacular: a large walk-in shower with bench seat, shower wand, and rain head; a stunning copper soaking tub; and dual copper sinks. A versatile bonus room functions as laundry, home office, or pantry. But the real showstopper is everything outside. The raised construction creates a sprawling covered space underneath, ideal for entertaining, game day, or simply rocking on the porch. Out back, a resort-style pool with tanning ledge, swim-up table, and slide is the centerpiece of your personal outdoor oasis. The adjacent pavilion and outdoor kitchen are fully equipped with a built-in grill, wine fridge, sink, ice cooler, and a full bath with both indoor and outdoor shower — no need to go inside. Follow the path to your own sandy beach along the creek, or cast a line in the stocked pond, complete with a 10x12 fishing shed perched at the water's edge. Front and back decks frame sweeping views of the property at every turn. A 12x15 tack/feed room and workshop round out the amenities, and with the land fully fenced and ready for livestock, you can bring your horses, goats, cows or simply your dream of a quieter, more intentional life.

Welcome to Sandy Creek Farm! Where southern charm meets country calm on a beautiful 13.5 acres. Whether you're looking to kick back and enjoy your privacy or cowboy up and start a full-fledged farm, this slice of paradise has it all. Built in 2015, the custom farmhouse is full of thoughtful details that make it feel like home the second you walk in. Soaring ceilings, rich cypress walls and cabinetry, and windows that invite the outdoors in. With 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout is cozy yet open, perfect for hosting or hiding away. The primary suite is a true retreat and features sliding glass doors to head out to the patio. It also features a built-in gun closet and a separate, spacious walk-in closet. The primary bathroom has dual vanities, a copper soaking tub that just begs for bubble baths, and a separate fully tiled shower. But the real showstopper? It's everything outside of the home. The raised design offers a sprawling covered space that's ideal for entertaining, grilling, game day gatherings, or just enjoying a stormy night with a good book and a rocking chair. The exterior also includes a resort-style pool and a cabana so well-equipped it might just make your kitchen jealous. We're talking a built-in BBQ pit, wine fridge, outdoor shower, TV, pool storage, and a full bathroom. All designed to help you enjoy having to never leave your house. Follow the path to your own sandy beach along the creek, or cast a line in the stocked pond--either way, you'll be reeling in the good times. The land is fully fenced and ready for livestock, so bring your goats, your cows, or your dreams of homesteading. If you're dreaming of wide open spaces and slower paces, this is the place that makes those dreams real. Come see what country living is really all about.
