Recent improvements including newer windows, LP Smart siding, doors, and HVAC provide peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to a large concrete deck with a pergola overlooking the serene creek, creating the perfect spot to unwind or host gatherings. Below, a screened-in porch offers a cozy, bug-free retreat, while multiple patio areas—including one with its own outdoor counter and sink—make it easy to clean fresh garden produce or fish after a day outdoors. A covered front porch adds even more space to relax and take in the picturesque surroundings. The walkout lower level offers excellent potential for a mother-in-law suite with a full kitchen and private access, providing flexibility for multi-generational living or guests. A heated 30 x 72 shop with in-floor heat and an attached 10 x 50 lean-to is a rare and valuable addition, perfect for hobbies, and storage. The property also features a heated 3-car garage with floor drains, a 14 x 16 chicken coop with electric and fenced enclosure, and beautifully maintained flower areas along with numerous fruit trees that enhance both the charm and usability of the land. This is a rare opportunity close to Alexandria to own a turn-key acreage property that combines modern updates, versatile living spaces, and peaceful country living all in one incredible setting.
