Agent Description

Enjoy peaceful countryside views from this meticulously maintained ranch home situated on 0.81 acres in a desirable subdivision with private access to Lake Jude and a residents-only nature path.

As an added bonus, the riding lawn mower is included with the sale. Outside, you'll find a great patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and an L-shaped foundation already in place for a future pole building.

This property combines the tranquility of country living with the benefits of a welcoming neighborhood-offering space, flexibility, and thoughtful updates both inside and out. It's been meticulously maintained. You won't want to miss it!
