About This Home

981 N 1200e Road

Peaceful country living awaits on this beautifully maintained 2-story home situated on 2.98 private acres in the desirable GCMS school district. Surrounded by mature evergreen trees that provide an excellent natural wind block and added privacy, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and functionality. The home features 5 spacious bedrooms and a large full bathroom with double sinks, tastefully remodeled in 2013. The kitchen was updated in 2012 and offers plenty of space for gathering and everyday living. Most windows were replaced in 2008, helping improve efficiency and natural light throughout the home. Outside, you'll find exceptional outbuildings and storage options including a 2-car attached garage, a detached single-car garage, and a large Quonset building with a newer metal roof - ideal for equipment, hobbies, workshop space, or additional storage. Additional highlights include a whole-house Generac demand generator for peace of mind and a quiet, scenic setting perfect for enjoying country life while still being conveniently located. This property does have a shared egress for the other buildings on the property, however this is not used very often, mostly in the fall and keeping up with the mowing to ensure the property looks manicured as a whole. This rare rural property offers room to grow, work, and relax - all in a serene setting you'll love coming home to.
