Additional Features: Lot dimensions: 246’ x 887’ (long 5 acres), Partially fenced with a stream running through the far south corner, Property requires flood insurance due to stream, but current premium is just $535/year and is transferrable to the new owner, 2-car carport + plenty of guest parking, Peaceful, natural setting ideal for those seeking privacy, space, and a slower pace of life located just minutes from all the shopping you may need!!!

Ponder this--if the home's smaller than you want---use the attached back lanai to complete an addition to your living space--if you want a horse, the barn is ready---add a few stalls! Some of the fencing has already been done--and the driveway is packed down and stable. There are so many things that come into play when you want to move onto land in a more rural setting---the cost savings is huge to have these things already in place and grow your home and land as time and money permits!! Land alone is worth at least $60, 000/ac or $300, 000, well and septic and impact fees = $$30, 000, Pole Barn similar = $25000, Manufactured home similar at least $150, 000 (one sold for $275000 recently within 1 mile on a 1/4 of an acre for $275000) add the under pending, front porch and huge back enclosed porch with windows and metal roof over both-$75000 easy. . . just saying! You do the math and you'll discover the savings!
