Imagine walking out your door to stunning views hearing only the sounds of nature every morning - but live within minutes of 85 or the 40. This stunning 12 acre lot includes a cottage style ranch detached garage/workshop and is surrounded by forest and pasture land. The three bedroom open concept home features gleaming wood floors, beautiful beams, a working fireplace, large rooms, 9 ft ceilings and light filled windows with tree lined views. Outside is a large deck overlooking a small stream and woods. Perfect for grilling, wildlife watching or relaxing. Nice size yard to enjoy and no overhead power lines to obstruct your view! The home is wired for fiber internet up to 2 gig. The two car detached garage includes a second level. Currently it's used as a workshop. On the side of the garage is a working greenhouse for growing your favorite plants or your veggies. More parking is located between the garage and the home. Built for multigenerational living, the home's doors and rooms are easily accessible for wheelchairs and are on one level. The attic has potential to be finished as another living area according to the builder. Right off Buckhorn, the location is perfect. You are minutes from 40 and 85, but firmly located in a quiet and nature filled area. The neighborhood is zoned as AR and is surrounded by OWASA Cane Creek Mitigation tract. 490 acres of state approved forest management focused on protecting water quality and enhancing wildlife habitat. Includes pasture land, small running stream and mature forest.
