Outside, the property features approximately 7 acres of maintained horse pasture with a 3-stall loafing shed and equipment room. An attached oversized double truck garage and separate workshop provide ample space for vehicles and hobbies. The home also includes a 1,415-square-foot unfinished basement and RV parking with electrical hookup, perfect for guests or adventure-ready owners.
