Tucked away on five private acres in Douglas County, this property offers a rare blend of space, serenity, and everyday convenience, neighboring both Alexander High School and Bill Arp Elementary and close to the shopping and dining you rely on. Welcome to 4581 Cougar Trail. A generous setback from the road, two gentle streams bordering two sides of the property, a tried-and-true chicken coop (fresh eggs included upon visiting!), and the quiet of the surrounding forest create a peaceful retreat that's increasingly hard to find. Whether you envision morning coffee overlooking the woods, space for gardening or recreation, hammocking by the water, or simply room to breathe, the land itself is one of this property's most compelling features. The home is a classic build with approximately 3,000 square feet. Inside are four spacious bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite that feels like a true retreat, along with three and a half bathrooms and an open-concept main living area that makes everyday living and entertaining easy. The main level also includes a dedicated office and laundry room, while the nearly 1,000-square-foot basement is ready for your vision. Since 2023, the property has seen several updates and improvements, giving the next owner a strong head start while still leaving room to personalize and add value. Properties with this kind of acreage, privacy, and potential rarely come along this close to everyday conveniences. If you've been searching for space and long-term opportunity, 4581 Cougar Trail is worth seeing in person.
