Property Description
Whether you're relaxing by the pond taking in the scenic countryside, tending the garden, working the horses, or unwinding on the spacious deck out back, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort and outdoor enjoyment. Escape to the peace and beauty of rural living with this charming 8.5± acre property located just west of Lone Star Lake. Enjoy easy access with hard-surface roads nearly all the way home, with only a short stretch of gravel leading to this private retreat. You'll appreciate that the sellers have already built a 24' x 36' horse barn with a heated tack room, water, and a concrete wash stall. There's also a riding area framed by durable, non-yellowing vinyl fence. Additional outbuildings include a 30' x 60' metal building with gravel floor and electricity and a detached 24' x 24' garage with concrete floor, electricity, and a wood stove. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a versatile loft space. The main-level primary suite provides convenience and privacy, while two additional bedrooms and a loft are located upstairs. Inside, you'll find an eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops, an extra deep pantry with pull-out drawers, formal dining room, family room, and living room, creating plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. A wood stove in the dining area adds warmth and rustic charm. The unfinished basement provides excellent storage and future expansion potential. Recent updates by the current owners include Pella replacement windows and patio door, deck upgrades, and new carpet in the bedrooms. Shared pond access adds even more recreational opportunities to this exceptional country property. If you've been dreaming of a peaceful rural lifestyle with room for horses, hobbies, and outdoor adventure, this property is a must-see.
