Set on 8.46 wooded acres outside the city limits in the Petal School District, 218 John Evans Road is the kind of property that checks every box and then some. Follow the 590-foot private gravel drive through the trees, pass a stocked bass and bream pond, and arrive at a beautifully finished 3-bedroom, 1-bath home built in 2022. Inside, the home offers an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with 10' ceilings, stained concrete floors, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and neutral colors throughout. Double vanities in the bathroom, a spacious laundry room with pantry storage and counter space, a covered front deck, and a detached double carport round out a home that is move-in ready and easy to love. What makes this property truly special is the opportunity it provides. With a second homesite already cleared, you can enjoy the current home while building your dream home on the property, then convert this home into a guest house, mother-in-law suite, or the ultimate hangout space. Whatever your vision is, this property is ready for it. All it needs is you.
