Recently appraised at $517,000 by an independent appraiser who is not involved in this transaction. Offered at $498,900. Priced below recent appraised value! Discover a rare combination of country living, privacy, and convenience on approximately 8 fully fenced acres just minutes from Waycross shopping, medical facilities, and everyday amenities. Built in 2018, this beautifully maintained 2,916 sq. ft., 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features an open, light-filled floor plan with spacious family and living rooms, an expansive gourmet kitchen, large laundry room, oversized walk-in pantry, and 2-car covered parking. Six-foot windows throughout fill the home with natural light and showcase the beautiful surroundings. The spacious primary suite offers a tray ceiling, large walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with an impressive walk-in tiled shower. One of the home's most memorable features is the nearly 1,000 sq. ft. of screened porch space wrapping the east, south, and west sides of the home-creating an exceptional extension of the living space for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing and enjoying the breeze. The western porch overlooks the approximately 1.5-acre stocked pond with its own island and bass, bream, and carp. Outside, the property feels like a private park. Mature oaks, sycamores, cedars, cypress, crepe myrtles, azaleas, gardenias, roses, and other established landscaping provide beauty and shade throughout the grounds. Pecan trees, figs, blackberries, blueberries, and grapevines add to the property's country charm. An attractive aluminum front fence and automatic entry gate create impressive curb appeal and privacy. A three-stall barn with water offers potential for livestock or hobby-farm use and is ready for a new owner to restore to its potential. A separate fully fenced poultry area is ready for chickens, and an outdoor shed provides additional utility. With no HOA or city restrictions, there is room to make this property your own, subject to applicable Ware County codes and permitting requirements; buyers should verify requirements for their intended use. Enjoy the best of both worlds-acreage, a stocked pond, mature trees, wildlife, gardening, animals, and peaceful country surroundings while Walmart, Kroger, Lowe's, medical facilities, shopping, and other Waycross conveniences are just minutes away. More than a home, this is a private, park-like retreat offering the space and freedom to live the country lifestyle you've been looking for-without giving up the convenience of town.
