Welcome to Your Brunswick County Country Retreat! Nestled on nearly five sprawling acres of Carolina countryside, 651 Gilbert Road SE is more than a home; it's a retreat, a homestead, and a statement of peaceful living. As you travel down the long driveway, the view opens to reveal manicured lawns and a home that feels like a statement. The broad front porch, perfect for rocking chairs and sweet tea, invites you to slow down and savor the peace of country living. With solar panels, new fencing, and new siding, this property blends modern efficiency with timeless Southern grace. The outdoor space steals the show here. Acres of level, open land stretch around the home, perfect for gardening, horses, or simply enjoying your own private sanctuary. The fenced backyard features raised garden beds, a fire pit, and space for your hammock in the sun. To one side, a vast, open field offers endless opportunity, room for crops, a workshop, or even a hobby farm. And if you've ever dreamed of collecting fresh eggs in the morning, the chickens can stay too! Step inside and discover nearly 3,000 square feet of space designed for both gathering and retreat. Two living areas welcome family and friends, while the spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a large island, and room for everyone to join in the rhythm of daily life. Just beyond, a cozy room/dining room with a gas fireplace invites quiet mornings or cozy winter evenings. The sunroom at the back of the home fills with natural light and opens onto a fenced yard with garden planters, a hammock, and space to enjoy your very own homestead. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer comfort and space, including a primary suite with a walk-in shower and a generous closet, while the guest rooms share a bathroom in the hallway. Outside, the detached three-bay garage is a dream come true, with upgraded electrical, stairs to a full storage loft, and plenty of room for projects and hobbies.
