The 4 acres of land provide space for you to disconnect from everyday life. The entire property sits along the Cartoogechaye Creek (tough to pronounce). Numerous tall aged trees and lots of open areas between the trees covered with grass. Walk across the footbridge to explore the woods and creekside beauty. You can enjoy the creek from the house, from the deck, from the backyard and from the hiking area.

The home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on one side of the house and the kitchen, dining and living room on the other side. Access to the patio is from numerous doors in each area of the house.

Larger trained dogs are allowed. Please contact me with the weight, breed and age of your dog to confirm pet accommodations and pet fees.
