Peaceful country living awaits on this beautifully maintained 2-story home situated on 2.98 private acres in the desirable GCMS school district. Surrounded by mature evergreen trees that provide an excellent natural wind block and added privacy, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and functionality.

Outside, you'll find exceptional outbuildings and storage options including a 2-car attached garage, a detached single-car garage, and a large Quonset building with a newer metal roof - ideal for equipment, hobbies, workshop space, or additional storage. Additional highlights include a whole-house Generac demand generator for peace of mind and a quiet, scenic setting perfect for enjoying country life while still being conveniently located. This rare rural property offers room to grow, work, and relax - all in a serene setting you'll love coming home to.
