The garage is built to accommodate a variety of needs, featuring four oversized insulated doors that can easily fit larger vehicles, including campers. A 50/30-amp RV hookup adds even more versatility for travel or guest accommodations. Outside, the property offers both privacy and functionality, set well off New Hope Road. A fenced area with a run-in shelter is ready for horses, goats, or other animals. The creekside setting invites boating, fishing, and kayaking, with a neighborhood launch available for easy access.
