About this home
This custom-built, single-level home has endless views and sunlight! Situated on level acreage with south-facing windows and nature all around. In the spring, the swan and geese will be in the fields to the south, and the occasional eagle will hunt that same field year around and land in one of the many trees that border the property and meandering, blacktopped driveway. The floor plan has formal and informal living and there have been numerous updates (including a brand new roof). There is a large 3-car attached garage that has the central vac and Gentran system, and then there is the very large 3-bay shop that has a 15' RV door and stall, plus more covered storage, a garden shed, and a goat pen, along with a fenced 32 x 32 garden area.
