Inside, open and airy living spaces are ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Step onto the spacious deck for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or evening wildlife viewing from the large Bullfrog X Series hot tub under the stars.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the Husqvarna Z254 zero-turn mower that conveys with the property, making acreage maintenance effortless. Furniture is negotiable for a smooth transition.
From world-class fishing right out your back door to the privacy, recreational opportunities, and favorable tax environment this special land offers, the property perfectly blends tranquil natural beauty with modern luxury living -- all within easy reach of major metro areas.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own your own slice of paradise -- a true private creekfront retreat with outstanding location, connectivity, and low ongoing costs....
