Welcome to 21 Mallard Lane, a 3 bed, 2 bath ranch on nearly 6 private acres just outside Augusta. You're ten minutes from downtown and close to I-95, but sitting at the end of a dead-end gravel road with a natural pond in your front yard and open lawn all around. Behind the house, wooded acreage with trails adds a beauty and depth that photos can't fully capture. A large front deck looks out over the yard and pond. True homestead-style acreage this close to Augusta doesn't come up often. Inside, the layout is open and comfortable. The kitchen has gunstock butcher block counters, a knotty pine island with bar seating, stainless appliances, an overhead pot rack, and a built-in bookcase with a center chimney cabinet. The living room has an electric fireplace insert with built-in shelving on both sides, and the dining area opens through a slider to the backyard. The primary suite has a walk-in closet with shelving and a private en-suite bath. The two additional bedrooms share a second full bath with tub and shower. First-floor laundry is included and all the wiring throughout the home is new. The detached garage was newly constructed, 24x48, with a knotty pine interior, concrete floor, two bays, and a full upper level accessible by a finished interior staircase. The upper level is floored, has windows and French doors to the outside, and runs the entire length of the building. There is also a finished office room inside the garage with its own entrance. A lot of potential still to be had here. The two-story red barn has a built-in chicken coop with nesting boxes, a goat shed, and a garage door on the lower level for parking a side-by-side or similar. The woodshed connected to the house has built-in shelving and good storage. Full RV hookup with water, sewer, and electric. Three hundred feet of chain-link fence and a drainage system in the rear yard. If you are looking for beauty, versatility, and a property genuinely set up to do something, this one is worth
