NOW LISTED AT $584,321 — ABSOLUTELY PRICED TO SELL, WELL BELOW APPRAISAL! Freshly updated and full of value—this is a serious deal for 20+ acres in Madison County. If Chip and Joanna designed a countryside estate and priced it to move, this would be it. This 20.40-acre showpiece in Madison County, MS, is just a mile off the Natchez Trace—close enough for weekend adventure, far enough for quiet mornings, porch coffee, and the occasional deer in the backyard. Fresh updates abound: in December 2024, the home and matching shop were painted in Sherwin-Williams Alabaster White, and in February 2025, the striking metal roof was professionally cleaned—it's practically gleaming. And just this summer, the upstairs bathroom was updated, adding even more polish to an already dialed-in home.

Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms await—one with custom built-in shelving for books, décor, or your prized mug collection. Now let's talk outdoor living, because this property delivers. Stretching across 20+ acres of fully fenced rolling pasture, the land is currently used for hay production but could easily transform into your dream hobby farm. The home itself is flanked by full-length 8-foot-deep porches front and back—ideal for rocking chairs, storytelling, and watching the sun dip behind your private 5+/- acre stocked lake (yes, it has bass and bream). When the fish stop biting, fire up the built-in fire pit for s'mores, stargazing, and unplugged evenings. Equestrian or equipment needs? You're covered: A 48'x48' horse barn with 6 stalls and a tack/feed room A massive 60'x80' hay and equipment barn A 3-car garage and workshop for tools, toys, or your car collection Bottom line: This property has it all—privacy, functionality, beauty, and style—with a new price that makes it one of the best values on the market. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Schedule your showing today. Come see what country living—with modern comfort—really looks like.
