Bring the horses home! This modern ranch on 5 acres offers the combination equestrians are always looking for: a comfortable, beautifully designed home, a custom 3-stall barn, fenced pasture and paddock, and room to ride-all just 10 minutes from historic downtown Madison. The 2,400+ sq. ft. home is thoughtfully designed for easy everyday living, with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the main level plus a spacious upstairs bedroom with its own ensuite bath. A split-bedroom floor plan provides plenty of privacy, while generous living spaces make the home equally comfortable for a quiet evening or a houseful of friends. The kitchen is made for people who really cook, with a large center island, gas cooktop, double ovens, deep sink and an oversized pantry with room for groceries-and plenty of supplies for the four-legged members of the family. Best of all, even kitchen clean-up comes with a pasture view. The private primary suite is tucked away from the secondary bedrooms. Wake up and look out toward your horses at the barn. A large walk-in closet and ensuite bath with separate tub and shower and dual vanities complete the retreat. And when it is time to entertain, head outside. The spacious covered patio with fireplace and wide-screen TV is ready for fall football, dinner with friends or simply relaxing at the end of the day while the horses graze nearby. For horse owners, this property is ready to go. The custom 3-stall barn features attractive finished sidewalls, front and rear doors and a well-appointed tack room. Approximately 3.7 acres are fenced with a combination of board and low-maintenance no-climb fencing, including a convenient paddock adjoining the barn and a larger field. The mostly level land offers an excellent opportunity to add a riding ring, with convenient space for truck and trailer parking and farrier visits. And you won't have to trailer far to find new places to ride. Miles of trails are within easy reach, including Hard Labor Creek State Park, Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, Georgia International Horse Park, A.H. Stephens State Park and Harbins Park. Private riding opportunities are nearby as well. Brownwood Estates is protected by covenants, but has no HOA-offering the benefit of established neighborhood standards without a homeowners association. Morgan County itself is horse country. The Farmgate Report ranks Morgan as Georgia's #3 county for horses, and it is easy to understand why.
