RARELY does a property offer this much PRIVACY, NATURAL BEAUTY AND FUTURE POTENTIAL. Nestled on 7.8 picturesque acres of rolling, partially wooded land, this spacious walk-out ranch offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and everyday convenience. With over 3,000 finished square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, there's plenty of room to spread out while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways. The OPEN-CONCEPT main level is filled with NATURAL LIGHT and designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The inviting living room features a cozy fireplace and flows seamlessly into the spacious eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinetry and generous workspace. Two oversized arched windows and a large sliding glass door showcase stunning views of the private backyard, creating a bright, airy atmosphere and bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. The main-level primary suite offers everyday convenience, while the finished walk-out lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a large recreation room, kitchenette, full bath, and fourth bedroom-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or entertaining. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the expansive deck or enclosed porch overlooking your private oasis. A SPRING-FED POND provides a tranquil setting with the potential for fishing and year-round enjoyment. While currently covered with duckweed, the pond remains a beautiful water feature with tremendous potential to be restored as a stunning focal point of the property. Two storage sheds offer plenty of room for lawn equipment, tools, and outdoor gear. Improvements include a new boiler/heat pump (approximately 8 years old), well (approximately 18 years old), and a driveway redone approximately 5 years ago, providing added value and peace of mind. A truly unique feature of this property is its INVESTMENT POTENTIAL. The acreage has already been PARCEL DIVIDED, giving the next owner the flexibility to split off and sell a parcel, build an additional home (subject to applicable approvals), or simply retain the extra land as a valuable long-term investment. Whether you're searching for a peaceful retreat, room to grow, or a property with exceptional future possibilities, this one-of-a-kind South Side South Bend property offers an opportunity that's rarely available.
