About This Home

As of October 2024

SECLUDED! This is truly a unique offering. A one owner home, both the residence and exterior landscape were purposefully and thoughtfully designed. This 20-acre parcel features a custom-built home with FULL BASEMENT, two bedrooms on the main level and a sizable loft on the second level, suitable for a variety of needs. The primary bedroom features a private three-quarter bath. The main level features hardwood flooring, a vaulted ceiling, an open concept, kitchen with granite counters and ceramic tile and plenty of cabinets (appliances included), large great room with wood burner (optional heating source), dining room (or office) with large windows, full guest bath with jetted tub, and laundry room with utility sink and appliances included. The FURNACE, A/C & HWH (50 gal) all REPLACED within 2 years. The fully stocked lake was designed to be spring fed, approximately 16' deep, and approximately 4.5 acres in size. There is also a second, fully stocked pond on the south side of the property as well (bass, crappie, sunfish...). The property boasts heavily wooded areas, trails, clearings, and native grasses as well. The back 10 acres has been on a renewable 1-year lease to a local farmer. A green house with well pump and wall heater is onsite for the gardener, a shed offers overhead storage, while additional outbuildings include a large pole barn (80'x40') which houses a separate shop with utilities (16'X18'X12'), pole barn with utilities (40'x41'), PLUS SEPARATE LIVING QUARTERS to include kitchen, living room, bedroom, 3/4 bathroom plus laundry (approx. 861 sq ft - all appliances included), and attached garage. The buildings have concrete floors, electric, heat, gas, and water. Additional features include a GENERATOR and home warranty, provided by Seller at closing. This is truly a secluded, tranquil landscape! INTERIOR PHOTOS of large barns will be uploaded shortly.
