There's a new MARSHALL in town!! :) An exceptional opportunity to acquire 33+ STUNNING ACRES with remarkable lifestyle appeal and long-term investment potential! This unique destination property offers the rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and convenience in a growing area that still preserves a peaceful country atmosphere. With multiple perk sites and potentially more, significant value has been established for multi-generational living, future homesites, rental income opportunities, subdivision potential, or strategic long-term investment. The property already showcases an impressive blend of renovated living spaces, newer and updated structures, farming and gardening areas, pasture(s), fencing, pond(s), trails, and thoughtfully designed separation options. Whether your vision includes a private family compound, income-producing retreat, hobby farm, estate property, or future development venture, this property provides the space, infrastructure, and versatility to bring those plans to life while maximizing future value. The current main residence, situated in the heart of the property, features 3 bedrooms / 1 full bath and has been updated throughout with comfortable, move-in-ready living spaces, rocking chair front porch and side deck. Additional improvements include an incredible oversized 3-car garage with workshop space and an attached studio-style living area offering 1 bedroom and 1 full bath—ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or a private office. A separate "small home" adds even greater flexibility, featuring another 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, kitchen/living room, and even a picturesque window bedroom overlooking the pond & fountain, creating an inviting setting for guests, tenants, peaceful retreats, or creative pursuits. Further contributing to its appeal is a 2-stall horse barn with tack room, other small buildings and an additional 2nd large garage/storage building for RV, tractor and/or other farm toys. Properties offering this level of acreage, infrastructure, flexibility, and future upside are increasingly difficult to find, especially in a high-growth location. Enjoy an extraordinary country lifestyle today, while positioning yourself for future appreciation and income possibilities. With potential perk sites and extensive improvements already in place, many of the key steps have been completed, making this a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking both immediate enjoyment and lasting value. Owners are currently renting all 2 of the living areas on a month-to-month basis - see LA for details - could be all moved out by closing or potentially stay pending buyer preference. Opportunities like this are rare—don't miss the chance to secure a property that can serve your family, your goals, and future generations to come!
