There is a separate dining room off of the main living/kitchen. If you are looking for a quiet place to raise kids or retire this is the one. There is something for everyone to do here...fishing, hunting, bird-watching, riding horses, kayaking in Spring Creek which is only 4 miles away, hiking, reading on the screened porch, cooking in the outdoor kitchen, playing with the miniature animals or just sitting on the floating dock and watching the ducks and geese. The sound of the windmill and the site of the sunset in the evenings will relax you. Mertzon has a grocery store and an excellent school system providing many nearby conveniences. The entrance and road into and around the home are paved for smooth driving and low dust.
