Tired of the HOA telling you how to live?  Fed up with paying to store the big toys like boats, RV's, ATV's, etc?  Ready to grow your own food, gather your own eggs (ask about long term egg storage cause your hens will be happy here!), watch those adorable baby goats, and fish for Saturday's dinner?  Start that hobby farm you always wanted while staying close enough to town to still be practical. You can do all that and more on just over 5 acres (2 parcels), in this custom-built brick home that includes multiple outbuildings, 2 RV sites with complete hook-ups, 2 hen houses, a stocked pond, and covered lanai that flows to the pool deck and fire pit area. Ask for more details, disclosures, the full tour of 45 photos, and your personal tour today! This place reminds me of the Florida Georgia Line song, Dirt "You get your hands in it.  Plant your roots in it. Dusty headlights dance with your boots in it. You write your name on it. Spin your tires on it.  Build your cornfield, whiskey bonfires on it. You bet your life on it."  Dirt.
