Properties of this size this close to town are increasingly rare, offering an exceptional blend of privacy, convenience, and future potential. Meander through the trees along a paved driveway to discover this 1995-built home surrounded by natural beauty. The functional layout features 3 bedrooms and a large rec room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or guest space. The primary suite offers a 5-piece ensuite with a deep soaker tub & stand-up shower. Large windows & French doors in the living area provide plenty of natural light, while sliding doors off the kitchen lead to a 12' sundeck, brick patio & fire pit. Notable updates include HardiePlank siding, heat pump, pellet stove, new hot water tank, and Bosch dishwasher. Outbuildings galore with a 24X24' wired shop with attached equipment bay, a 3-bay oversized carport, a 12X30' enclosed storage building with cabin potential, and a 10X40 two-bay wood shed. The true value lies in the land! This remarkable acreage (not in the ALR) has excellent water, well-draining soils, and multiple access points. An established second access adds significant long-term value, with subdivision potential into parcels as small as 2.5 acres.
