Breathe in the fresh air! Invite some friends over to take a dip in the pool or work on that hobby project you need to finish. You have always wanted a place to raise your very own fainting goats. THIS IS THE PLACE. This house is perfectly situated on 8 acres with room to drive all the way around. Most of the acreage is to the back of the house and fenced separately. The back yard is fenced with a wooden privacy fence to the front and on the sides. Directly behind the pool the iron fence provides security and a view at the same time. A LARGE living room that is fairly open to the kitchen awaits. The LARGE dining area bookends the kitchen. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms down. Half bath outside for pool.
