Renovated 3BR/2BA Manufactured Home on 6.44 Acres with Pond
What first captures you at 120 Church Road is the land — a level, corner 6.44-acre parcel with a small pond, mature shade trees and 326 feet of frontage along a quiet country road. Set back from Church Road, the single-story manufactured home sits comfortably on the acreage and was fully refreshed after the 2025 purchase to deliver modern, low-maintenance living without sacrificing the peaceful, rural setting.
Inside, the 1,716-square-foot floor plan was updated with brand-new LVP waterproof flooring and fresh paint throughout. The kitchen was upgraded with soft-close cabinets, granite countertops, attractive light fixtures and all-new appliances; baths feature updated vanities and contemporary finishes. Open yet efficient living areas flow to a large back deck perfect for grilling or watching evening sunsets, and a covered front porch frames the entry — valuable outdoor rooms for this countryside property.
Practical systems match the cosmetic updates: central heat and air, a crawl-space foundation, and a gabled roof. Parking is simple via a gravel driveway with room for multiple vehicles. The lot mixes open pasture and small woods that create privacy buffers and usable space for hobby farming, horses, gardens or recreational equipment. The pond and tree lines add habitat and relaxed visual separation from neighboring parcels.
Location is quietly strategic — roughly five miles from Center Hill Lake for boating and water recreation and about ten miles to downtown Smithville for shopping, dining and community events. DeKalb County Schools serve the area; schools sit roughly 10–13 miles away. For buyers who want acreage within reach of regional recreational assets, this renovated home offers a turnkey option with mini‑farm potential and near-term maintenance peace of mind thanks to recent upgrades.
Buyers should verify septic condition, confirm any agricultural zoning desires, and discuss financing options for a manufactured home, but for those seeking private acreage, updated systems, and immediate occupancy, 120 Church Road represents a well-priced rural opportunity in the Smithville market.

A factual market snapshot around 120 Church Road.
The Smithville market is currently balanced to slightly seller-favored; inventory sits at roughly 3.2 months and average days on market run near 45 days. Median sales in the area are around $310,000, and recent local appreciation shows ~5% year-over-year and about 25% over five years — steady gains typical of well-located rural parcels. Comparable sales for homes with similar size or condition have closed between $310,000 and $330,000, supporting an estimated value near $320,000 for this renovated, 1,716 SF manufactured home on 6.44 acres.
Manufactured homes and rural acreage are drawing interest from buyers seeking affordable entry into country living, mini-farm use, or proximity to recreational anchors like Center Hill Lake; however, manufactured housing can encounter stricter lending standards which can narrow the buyer pool. Days on market and inventory levels indicate a market where well-presented, move-in-ready homes sell efficiently. For buyers, this is a reasonable time to act if financing constraints are addressed and septic/zoning due diligence is completed. Sellers will find demand for turnkey rural properties strong when priced in line with recent comps and when outdoor amenities — pond, usable acreage, and privacy — are highlighted.
