Listing broker remarks

Welcome home to your own private retreat designed for everyday living, entertaining, and flexibility. Back on the market and ready for its new qualified Owner(s). Recently under contract and appraised in August 2026 for $1,400,000. Sat well off the road on an unheard-of 12.7 acres with no immediate neighbors, this home delivers rare privacy without feeling remote. Two driveways allow drive-in/drive-out access, plus a 3-car garage, heated pool, screened porch, and a real catwalk connecting two main structures with the ability to drive underneath. Inside, the kitchen shines with a 36” gas range, smart fridge, and beautiful finishes throughout. The primary suite is a showstopper: French doors to a private patio, walk-in closet, and a bath with double vanity, chandelier, glass shower door, Bluetooth speakers, multi-color LED lighting, and two shower areas with separate controls, including a 7’+ rain head on one side and a bench on the other. Brand-new septic/leaching field with certificate of compliance in hand, new 50-year roof. New pool pump and multi valve. Further enhancements are possible. Seller reserves the right to accept an offer at anytime.— Three Hills Real Estate Service, LLC
