Tucked just outside the city limits of Dixon, this charming 2-acre country retreat offers the perfect blend of peaceful rural living and close-to-town convenience. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features an additional flexible room-ideal for a home office, hobby space, or oversized closet-along with the ease of main floor laundry. Perfect for homesteaders and nature lovers in mind, this property has been lovingly maintained by owners who truly lived off the land. You'll find a well-established organic garden, a fenced pasture previously home to goats, a chicken house, and an impressive variety of mature fruit and berry plantings including Bartlett pear, White peach, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious apple trees, plus blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb and asparagus. Outbuildings include a spacious 3-car detached garage and a separate workshop building featuring second-floor access for abundant storage or future creative space. If you've been dreaming of a simpler lifestyle-growing your own food, raising animals, and enjoying wide-open space-this property is your opportunity to put down roots just beyond the heart of a welcoming small-town community.
