With three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile loft ideal for a family room or game room, there's room for everyone. A full basement offers future finishing potential, while the attached garage and 30-foot trailer port provide plenty of space for all your outdoor gear. Set on a private road just minutes to State Game Lands, this property delivers the ultimate blend of seclusion, recreation, and comfort--whether you're looking for a full-time home or the perfect weekend getaway.
