About This Lot
As of January 2026Welcome to this peaceful 10-acre retreat at the end of a dead-end lane in southern Madison County. This 2 bed/1 bath log veneer home offers an open-concept layout with the kitchen overlooking the dining and living areas. The kitchen is outfitted with beautiful hickory cabinets and concrete countertops, offering both charm and function. The home has central air, a furnace, and a cozy wood stove. Step outside to a large patio and a second concrete slab—currently used for a hammock but originally poured with a hot tub in mind. The property also features a 60'x40' shop with concrete floors and its own separate driveway. Inside the shop is a nearly 600 sq ft fully functioning Airbnb unit that sleeps five and includes its own bathroom. An additional office adjacent to the Airbnb could easily be converted into extra guest space. Outdoors, enjoy the peace of country life with a variety of fruit trees (apple, pear, and peach), a clover food plot, and included tower blind and treestand. The hunting opportunities are exceptional, with over 3,000 acres of public hunting within five minutes. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the brand-new 80'x120' outdoor riding arena—installed just two months ago and negotiable with the sale. High-speed fiber internet is already installed, making working from home easy and reliable. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, well-rounded property with income potential, modern conveniences, and room to roam.
