Country Paradise on 12.71 Acres with a Stunning Pond! Welcome home to this peaceful 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath country retreat set on 12.71 beautiful acres along a paved road. The star of the property is the massive 268x100 pond (14’ deep) — a true showstopper! Perfect for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the view. Step inside to find a warm and inviting living room with a fireplace and insert that keeps the home cozy on chilly days. The home has had many newer updates, including a roof, PEX plumbing, furnace, ductwork, water heater, kitchen, and baths — giving you peace of mind for years to come. Outside, you’ll find two septic's, a shed, a hunting shack, and the boat stays with the property. The pellet stove in the basement also stays (not currently hooked up and it's only to heat the basement, it's not hooked up to the vents). The sq ft on both levels is 1196 giving you a total of 2392 sqft. The home is heated with LP gas/wood, the fireplace with the insert keeps everything nice and toasty. Enjoy relaxing evenings on the 12x22 deck with pergola, surrounded by nature and an abundance of deer and wildlife. This is the perfect blend of modern comfort and outdoor living — a property that truly has it all! This is all on a paved road! Sellers noticed some water in the basement so a company is fixing that and that comes with a lifetime warranty.
