2 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 800 SqFt. ⋅ 226037070 MLS
Surrounded by quiet nature and set within a serene forest landscape, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your own private retreat on a wide and expansive parcel of over 1.5 acres. With a generous footprint, natural setting, and sense of seclusion, this is more than just a property - it's a canvas for something truly special. The feeling is unmistakable. A peaceful, tree-lined approach leads you into a setting defined by towering oaks and pines, where sunlight filters softly through the canopy and the outside world begins to fade away. The property feels private, quiet, and deeply connected to nature - offering tranquility that's increasingly hard to find for a good price. What truly sets this property apart is the breadth and layout of the land. The wide lot creates a sense of openness while maintaining privacy, giving you room to imagine, design, and expand. Whether you envision terraced outdoor living areas, garden spaces, walking paths, or future additions, the scale of the property provides flexibility that's rarely available. There's space here, not just for structures, but for creativity, lifestyle, and long-term vision. The sloped terrain adds dimension and character, creating natural vantage points throughout. Different areas of the land offer different experiences - some more elevated, some more tucked away - making it easy to imagine multiple outdoor zones for relaxation, gathering, or quiet reflection. Surrounded by mature trees and greenery in every direction, the setting feels like your own private piece of forest. At the center of the property sits a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, ready to be reimagined and brought back to life, or replaced with a new unit ready to move in. Utilities and sewer are already available, making it an easy swap for a new home, or custom build. Beyond the home itself, it's the land that tells the story. The wide, spacious lot offers the freedom to create something tailored to your vision - whether a personal retreat, an investment project, or long-term escape from the noise of everyday life. With privacy, natural beauty, and room to grow, the possibilities here are as expansive as the land itself. This is a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and build something meaningful. A place where mornings begin with filtered sunlight through the trees and evenings end in quiet stillness. A place where vision meets opportunity. Come explore the space and envision the future. Welcome Home!!!
