About this property
Amazing Grace on Mackey Creek | 5 Acres | Screened Porch | Fire Pit
Welcome to Amazing Grace—a hidden gem nestled on 5 private, serene acres with Mackey Creek flowing through the entire property. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the world slow down. This is where time stretches, worries fade, and the only soundtrack is the gentle song of the creek never far away. Come to listen. Come to breathe. Come to heal. Come to remember to whom you belong when the world quiets down. Whether you're seeking romantic seclusion, family memories, or a quiet place to reconnect with yourself or your creator—Amazing Grace offers it all.
