Gorgeous 3 BR/2 BA home has stunning views and sits on nearly 8 river-front acres. This property has it all: wonderful location, privacy, pasture, woods, river access with decking and great area for play or relaxing, a barn that is currently one of the coolest man caves going yet could easily be converted back into a welcoming retreat for horses! The home is beautifully laid out, well-maintained, and truly an incredible place to return home after a long day at work! The floors are 12X24 porcelain glazed wood tiles and those incredible floors are just one of the many delightful features of this cozy home (there are also beautiful granite countertops and even supplemental propane heat for those just-in-case situations). While the owner's bedroom is upstairs, there is one downstairs that works perfectly well, so the floorplan is quite flexible for your needs! The acreage is so very pretty with such a nice combo of open land and woods; the river is purely the icing on the cake! The barn is currently set up for a great hang out; it has water and electricity, you can watch TV, cook, work or chill. It even has its own half bath and septic! There is an RV hook-up that offers even more flexibility! Don't sleep on this one! If you have been looking for your private little piece of serenity that is somewhat off the beaten path while not too far from all the conveniences you need, you must have a look at this one! Call today to schedule your personal tour!
