Perfect home and land retreat. Located exactly 22 minutes from River Arts District and 20 minutes, via beautiful country roads, to downtown Marshall. Rare combination of a beautiful "just right" house not overdone and certainly not underdone. 3 bedroom 2.5 bath completely renovated. Scandinavian inspired clean and bright with quality materials and finishes. The interior environment was purposefully designed to draw your focus to the spectacular view. Your plants will love the light. So many improvements this home is a pleasure to live in. Hard wood floors throughout main floor, large windows and french doors added both in the living area and primary bedroom to capture amazing views and provide immediate access to newly installed deck that spans the whole length of the house. All tile on lower level. Completely updated kitchen with custom cabinets, concrete counter tops. The view from the coffee bar looks out through the interior windows over the rest of the living area. All new retro inspired "Big Chill" appliances are just so cool. All new light fixtures and thoughtful accent lighting for art display throughout the spaces. All bathrooms redone with lovely tiles and stone and 1/2 bath added in laundry area on lower level. New wood burning insert added and provides so much warmth and ambiance in the fabulous art studio/library/family room on lower level. Whole house water filter provides clean delicious water right from the tap. Large utility room is so perfect for any projects or pets. One car garage is on lower level, and has interior access to utility room. The 17+ acres include woods, sunny pastures, creeks, and several natural springs. Easy access via private road at the top of the property or off old Turkey Creek Road at the bottom of the property. Great growing plateau just outside the back door. Stunning old growth trees anchor the view from the huge deck. There is so much to see and appreciate with this property. We would love to tell you more.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
