About This Home

As of July 2025

Fantastic Farmette with a beautifully updated 1940's farmhouse. Zoned AG, 11+ acres with several outbuildings including: a large barn with newer roof; extra-large machine shed with heated floor; 3-car garage with a bonus room on the 2nd floor; and a hen house.

The 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-story home features an updated kitchen with custom cabinetry by David Hulthen Co., crown moulding and many charming built-ins throughout the home, and newly remodeled baths! With a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor! Wonderful, brand-new wrap-around porch allows for sunrise morning views and evening sunsets! Enjoy watching the fireflies while catching the evening breeze. Roof and siding replaced in 2020. Newer windows. Tankless water heater. 350 foot well with a new pressure tank. This property offers so much for so many passions and interests: a horse-lover's paradise; a pet lover's dream sanctuary come true; a botanist or gardener's heaven on earth: a hobby enthusiasts' opportunity for growth; an artist's answer to more studio space; a welder's new at-home workshop - the list is endless! If you've wondered what more life can offer - come check out this fabulous property! Easy to get to, and close to major highways.
