Enjoy peaceful country living on five acres with this custom-built 2006 ranch home offering 1,786 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 2 and a half baths, plus a full finished basement. Approximately two acres are already prepared for tilling, making this an ideal property for homesteading or gardening. The impressive 55x47 steel pole barn provides ample space to store large equipment, vehicles, boats, trailers, or tractors and includes an insulated area for animals with electrical and plumbing hookups, along with a hay loft for extra storage. A large, welcoming front porch leads you into a spacious living room with a gas fireplace that flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen area.

The full finished basement is perfect for entertaining, with a kitchenette complete with sink, refrigerator, microwave, cabinets, and counters, along with a large half bath and a second gas fireplace. The basement furnishings can stay, including the sleeper sofa, pool table, ping pong table, and dart board. The mechanical room offers built-in shelving and plenty of space to access all systems. All appliances remain with the home, which is equipped with 200-amp service and a whole-house generator. Outside, you can watch west-facing sunsets from the newer deck and pergola built in 2018, and a 60x60 fenced area offers a secure space for kids or pets to play. Recent upgrades include a new roof in 2020, a furnace installed in December 2024, a water heater replaced in 2024, and a whole-house generator added in 2020. Located in the Paw Paw School District with Indian Creek at the high school level, the property also provides an annual $6,000 stipend from the nearby wind farm.
