About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to your dream countryside retreat! Nestled on 5 scenic acres just outside of Carver, this beautifully maintained one-and-a-half story farmhouse offers the perfect blend of timeless rural charm and modern upgrades. With 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms—including a convenient main-level primary suite—this home delivers both comfort and functionality. Step inside to discover thoughtful improvements throughout, including recent upgrades to the kitchen and dining room windows and new interior light fixtures that add warmth and style. Original hardwood floors lie beneath the carpet in the stairway, hall, and upstairs bedrooms, offering a potential restoration opportunity for lovers of classic craftsmanship. Beyond the inviting interior, this property offers a robust infrastructure: a 200 Amp electric service to the house, a 250-gallon propane tank with backup generator and transfer switch, solar power, and an electric vehicle charging station on its own circuit. High-speed fiber internet up to 2Gb ensures you stay connected with ease—even in a country setting. Step outside and you'll find everything needed for relaxation, recreation, and productivity. The in-ground pool comes with a safety cover that offers peace of mind beyond what fencing can provide. For those with hobbies, animals, or extra storage needs, the property boasts 10 garage bays, a large shop with its own 150 Amp electric service, and 7 outbuildings topped with 100-year lifetime steel roofing. All structures without siding have been freshly painted, and the wrap-around farm service road offers convenient access to every part of the property. Nature lovers and green thumbs alike will appreciate the mature orchard, bursting with productive apple, pear, plum, cherry, walnut, and mulberry trees. The fenced pastures and paved driveway complete this exceptional property that offers the best of country living—with every modern amenity already in place. Whether you're dreaming of homesteading, hosting, or simply savoring wide-open views and star-filled skies, this countryside gem is ready to welcome you home.
