Home can come fully furnished for a turnkey seamless move-in experience and plans are available for a second-story addition. Step outside to your private oasis with a saltwater pool featuring a new heater and chiller (2024), LED landscape and pool-cage lighting, a fire pit, and a brand-new Hot Springs spa (2024, $18K value). A fenced yard (2024) ensures privacy, while a rear parking pad with RV hookup is perfect for your boat, jet ski, or motorhome.
