Property Description
The home welcomes you with vaulted living room ceilings finished in stained cedar, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Updated LVP and carpet throughout add a fresh feel. The kitchen offers custom knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island. New Water Heater installed April 2026.
Enjoy the large covered front porch overlooking your own private stock tank, previously stocked with fish. The property is supported by two wells: one services the home, while the second supplies the sprinkler system, exterior spigots, and helps maintain the tank level.
A Generac propane generator is tied into the home and automatically kicks on during power outages. An above ground pool and equipment will remain.
A unique feature is the buried, climate controlled container located beneath the home, accessed through the primary bedroom closet with an emergency exit into the garage. Complete with metal bunk beds that will stay, it is ideal for a storm shelter or secure storage.
Additional improvements include a large workshop with electricity and attached covered parking, RV hookup with electric, water, and septic access, and a slab behind the shop with plumbing already roughed in for a future guest house, additional flex space, or extend your workshop!.
The property has approximately 425 ft of road frontage and sits just outside the city limits with access to Interstate 20 less than a mile away.Property Highlights
