Welcome to your perfect mid-century sanctuary! This private and peaceful estate is designed for relaxation and adventure, making it the ultimate getaway.

THE PROPERTY
A spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled in a serene neighborhood. Surrounded by open land and wildlife, it offers tranquility and privacy, though it is not fenced.

LOCATION
Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the amenities of Three Rivers. Pick up sandwiches, coffee, or snacks before heading out on your adventure.
