Home Tour | “Two Hollers Away” Country Living
Dreaming of country living, but work or other obligations keep you tied to town? This could be the home for you! Listing agent Elias “Eli” Elizaldez calls this property a “two-holler” house — “You have neighbors, but they are far enough away that you have to holler twice for them to hear you!” To visit this country manor, turn down the private dirt road, pass through the gate at the end, and there you are.

To your left is a space that could be used as it is currently — an intimate, surround-sound TV area — or could be left empty to open the layout even more.
