A secure entrance opens to a long, tree-lined drive that winds deep into the property, creating a secluded setting far removed from the outside world. Open pastures and a 2-stall pole barn make this property ideal for a hobby farm, while scenic views surround the home from every angle, offering a peaceful backdrop of rolling landscape and mature trees. A private river access point allows you to launch a boat or enjoy quiet days along the water.

Inside, the living room boasts beamed ceilings and a fireplace, while the vaulted rear family room offers tongue-and-groove detail, a warm, inviting atmosphere, and a wet bar with wine cooler and wine rack for entertaining. The kitchen includes custom distressed pine cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, new appliances, and a spacious casual dining area. A sunroom off the kitchen is ideal for morning coffee. The main-level primary suite includes a custom closet and luxurious bath with double vanity, jetted tub, and spa-like shower. A second main-level bedroom features its own ensuite and custom closet. Two upper-level bedrooms share a hall bath, while a second primary suite offers a private ensuite with jetted tub and separate shower. Updates throughout the home include all new light fixtures and ceiling fans, newer carpet, a new roof, new HVAC systems, encapsulated crawl space under the addition, and a privacy fence. Outdoor living is equally impressive and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The saltwater gunite pool provides the perfect spot to cool off on warm summer days, surrounded by spacious patios ideal for lounging or hosting gatherings. A porch with a cozy fireplace offers a serene space to unwind while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. A custom-built treehouse overlooking the river creates a charming retreat for children or a peaceful hideaway for adults. A gazebo area provides shaded spots to relax, dine, or entertain, while the private boat ramp makes river access effortless. The 42 by 58 Morton building is designed for car collectors, boat storage, or versatile workspace, with three oversized bays, extensive storage, and a fully renovated 1 bed / 1 bath apartment featuring living room and kitchenette (please note the "1 bed / 1 bath lower level" listed in input bed/bath counts refers to this apartment, not the main home and there is no basement).
