Set on 3.5 acres in gated Tampico Springs Ranch, this 2024-built site-built home shares its northern boundary with National Forest land, creating a peaceful setting where the outdoors feels like an extension of your own backyard. Inside, the 1,456-square-foot home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a bright, open-concept layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The kitchen opens naturally into the dining and living areas, providing an inviting space for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying views of the surrounding trees. The spacious primary bedroom, walk-in closet, separate shower, ceiling fans, laminate flooring, and refrigerated air add comfort and practicality throughout the home. Step outside and slow down. Two decks, including an extended covered deck, offer plenty of room for morning coffee, outdoor meals, wildlife watching, or simply listening to the wind move through the trees. A secluded woodland sitting area provides another quiet place to read, reflect, or unwind away from the noise and demands of everyday life. The property offers year-round access and is equipped with a domestic well, septic system, propane forced-air heating, a pitched metal roof, fencing, and RV parking. Starlink internet and cellular service are available, making this a practical option for full-time living, remote work, or a peaceful weekend retreat.
