Description

5 picturesque acres of lush, sandy loam set the stage for this charming log home that perfectly captures the essence of peaceful country living. Thoughtfully updated, the home features luxury vinyl flooring throughout and a beautifully designed modern kitchen complete with a herringbone tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and built-in stainless steel appliances—blending rustic warmth with contemporary style.

This property is as functional as it is inviting, offering a powered workshop and a shipping container for additional storage. Enjoy outdoor living year-round with an above-ground pool and fenced deck, or unwind under the stars in the hot tub. Designed with self-sufficiency in mind, this prepper’s dream includes a 20KW solar array, Generac standby generator with a dedicated propane tank, rainwater collection system, a large fenced vegetable garden with greenhouse, chicken coop, and mature fruit and pecan trees.

Equestrian-ready and thoughtfully laid out, the land is fully fenced and cross-fenced, featuring a two-stall horse lean-to with tack room, along with water and power access. A flat, fenced riding arena completes this exceptional horse property. Additional highlights include an electric gate, full RV hookups, and a dedicated kids’ playscape/area—making this property as versatile as it is unique.
