Description
Discover peaceful country living on 7.5 well-maintained acres backing up to a canal that leads to Cypress Black Bayou Lake. This spacious home offers three bedrooms, two and half bathrooms, two living areas, and two kitchens, providing plenty of flexibility for entertaining, extended family, or multigenerational living. An exercise room and inviting garden room add even more usable space.
Parking and storage are abundant, with a two-car attached garage and two additional carport spaces. The property also features an extra-large workshop, a second smaller workshop, and a dedicated garden area - ideal for hobbies, equipment, projects, or homesteading.
At the water's edge, an older boat dock sits along the canal, ready for restoration and your personal touch. With generous acreage, excellent workspace, flexible living areas, and direct canal access, this unique property offers room to live, create, and enjoy the outdoors.
