At Black Locust Farm, the essence of rural living is captured in every detail. The main property features a hand crafted house, a three-story barn with a silo, a quaint and renovated cottage overlooking the Medomak stream, and various outbuildings including a horse barn, chicken coops, and a two-car garage.
Step inside this charming contemporary home and be greeted by two bedrooms, two loft bedrooms, and inviting living areas including a cozy family room, a spacious living room with a spiral staircase leading to a unique sparrow's nest, a sauna and a sunlit gazebo dining area perfect for gatherings. With three bathrooms and an office area, this home offers both comfort and functionality.
The historic barn, built in the 1800s, stands as a testament to the property's heritage, while modern amenities like solar panels, Mitsubishi heat pumps, and an electric car charger ensure sustainability and convenience.
Escape to the cottage (being sold ''as is''), originally built in the 1800s, complete with a two-story fireplace, a loft bedroom, and serene views of the surrounding landscape.
Outside, discover a world of natural beauty with seasonal ponds, a meandering stream, and lush paddocks. Embrace the tranquility of rural living while remaining connected with WiFi available throughout the property.
Whether you're seeking a sustainable farming retreat or a serene countryside escape, Black Locust Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and create your own legacy in this idyllic setting.
