Ten minutes east of Chatham, this 1968 ranch sits on a 0.6-acre lot with farmland views and mature trees all around. The long gravel driveway leads to an attached garage, so you've got plenty of room for vehicles and toys. Inside, it's 3 bedrooms and 1 bath on a single level, with hardwood in the main living spaces and a family room fireplace with stone detailing. The kitchen has good cabinet and counter space, though it's a bit dated. From the living room, large windows frame the greenery outside. The basement adds a rec room, office, and laundry, giving you extra space to spread out. Natural gas heat with a heat pump keeps things efficient, and central air is there for summer. The septic system means no city bills. With taxes under $2,900 a year and a price of $548,000, it's competitive for the area, especially with only one other active listing nearby. The lot is irregular but over half an acre, and it's zoned A1, so there might be flexibility for hobby uses. Schools and restaurants are about 6-8 km away in town, but the peace and quiet here is the real selling point. If you want room to breathe and a solid ranch to update, this one's worth a look.
