13232 Old Mansfield Road

Welcome to your own slice of Knox County paradise -- just 4 minutes from the Mount Vernon square and within Mount Vernon City Schools, yet tucked away on just over 10 peaceful acres. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home checks every box for the homesteader, hobby farmer, or anyone craving the rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Major updates have already been done for you. In 2026 the home received a new metal roof, new siding, and new gutters -- all brand new. The outdoor hot water furnace heats the home, the shop, and also handles the domestic hot water, making it an incredibly efficient all-in-one system. Additional updates include a new hot water tank (2021), new pressure tank, new well pump (2024), and an updated kitchen and bathrooms with newer laminate flooring throughout. The upstairs electric has been updated and a new chimney with liner has been installed. The lower level electric is functional but has not been fully updated, offering a buyer the opportunity to finish it to their own preference. The 30x40 pole barn features 4 horse stalls with a misting system. The garage includes a mechanic's pit, perfect for oil changes and under-vehicle work. The property also features a spring house, a creek, wooded acreage, open pasture, and abundant deer and wildlife -- offering a lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated at this price point and proximity to town. The walkout lower level with its brick fireplace adds flexible living space, while the covered deck off the back of the home gives you the perfect perch to take it all in. Whether you're dreaming of horses, a large garden, off-grid preparedness, or simply room to breathe -- this property delivers. Properties like this, this close to town, don't come along often.
