Seven Springs Ranch is improved with a modest but nicely maintained home, multiple Ag-related improvements and a picturesque 2.5-acre pond. These amenities are in place and offer an immediate opportunity for the new owner to come in and enjoy the country lifestyle. The diverse landscape, impressive features and strategic location make it suitable for a wide variety of uses, but you must really see it in person to appreciate what it has to offer.Land Characteristics: Seven Springs Ranch is a versatile, mixed-use tract that harmoniously blends approximately 65 to 70 acres of improved pasture with a rich diversity of mature, mixed timber. The improved pastures are generally associated with the road frontage along both the eastern and southern portions of the property. The pastures have gently rolling topography with scattered large Pine and hardwood trees scattered throughout some areas. The wooded portions of the property are primarily associated with two drainages that run from both the east and south and drain towards the NW portion of the property into the reservoir-style pond. These drainages feature a series of springs, which are the namesake of the ranch and provide water to the pond throughout most of the year. The property has a total of approximately 120 feet of elevation change, which, in conjunction with the mixed timber and pasture areas, provides multiple ideal settings for the development of a dream home. The combination of these features results in a diverse property, especially for a tract of this size.Improvements: The heart of Seven Springs Ranch is its 2,449 SF residence, which is located on a high hill in the northern portion of the property that is far enough from the road to enjoy privacy. It is tucked into the edge of the hardwood timber just above the pond, so you are always a short walk away from a fishing trip with your kids or grandkids. The home was originally constructed in the late 1970's but had significant updates and a large addition around the year 2000. The home offers three bedrooms, two and one-half baths and two living areas, so you have plenty of room for the whole family. Just behind the home is a 1,200 SF shop building on a concrete slab and a large equipment shed. These improvements are accessed via a long private drive behind a gated entrance, which offers a picturesque approach for those weekend getaways. A second gated entrance along CR 2300, which is just south of the main entrance, offers access to the rear pastures, two barns and a set of pipe cattle pens. The additional frontage along CR 2305 could be used to split off excess acreage or for use as a separate entrance for the development of your dream home on one of the many additional building sites that the property offers.Seven Springs Ranch is a rare gem in Houston County, offering a blend of open to wooded views, a tree-lined pond and functional improvements.
