If an affordable farmhouse in a true country setting near Stockton Lake is the goal, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on nearly 4 acres deserves a look. A wide covered front porch and mature shade trees give the home genuine farmhouse character before you ever step inside. The interior continues with comfortable living spaces and an attractive kitchen highlighted by a corner sink positioned beneath dual windows overlooking the property. The floor plan is straightforward and functional with enough personality to fit the setting. Beyond the front yard, the nearly 4 acres transition primarily into timber cover with a gentle roll toward the south. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors, and the wooded acreage gives the property a recreational feel with considerably more privacy and room to explore than a typical residential setting. A garden shed provides convenient everyday storage, while the existing barn could provide additional room for equipment, lawn tools, lake gear, or recreational toys with some work. A former homesite on the acreage may also provide an opportunity for a future RV hookup or additional use with some improvement and verification of available utilities. The Stockton Lake location adds another dimension to the property. Walking trails and the water's edge are about as close as you can get while still maintaining a true country setting, with Crabtree Cove providing nearby public boat access to Stockton Lake. Boating, fishing, hiking, and lake recreation are all close at hand without giving up the privacy and feel of living in the country. Start with a farmhouse that provides character, surround it with mature trees and nearly 4 acres of mostly wooded ground, then put Stockton Lake, Crabtree Cove, walking trails, and the water's edge practically at your doorstep. It is a straightforward combination of an affordable country home, wooded acreage, wildlife, and easy access to everything Stockton Lake has to offer.
