The heart of the home features a spacious, open kitchen area boasting stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet and pantry storage, and a convection oven—perfect for preparing large meals and hosting memorable gatherings.

The entire property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, making it entirely turn-key for livestock or horses. Equestrian and hobby farming enthusiasts will appreciate the 2-stall barn, custom chicken coop, dedicated garden area, and thriving fruit trees. Keeping the grounds lush is effortless thanks to two private wells powering an extensive underground irrigation system.
