About This Home

As of August 2025

Charming Farmhouse Retreat in the Heart of the Timber Nestled on 1.51 acres of woodland, this beautifully updated farmhouse offers a rare blend of serenity, privacy, and timeless character. Bordering Two Horse Farm—a protected DNR property that will remain undeveloped—this unique home provides lasting tranquility and natural beauty. Located just minutes from Lake MacBride State Park, Sugar Bottom Campground, and Sugar Bottom Mountain Bike Trails, this property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with dual walk-in closets, an ensuite bath, and rich hardwood flooring. Two additional upstairs bedrooms showcase original farmhouse charm with built-in features and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite in natural light. The main level features maple flooring, while both staircases are finished with warm walnut. The open-concept kitchen is complete with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a gas stove), a custom walnut-topped island with seating for five, and a built-in coffee/wine bar—perfect for entertaining. A spacious three-stall detached garage offers ample storage, including attic space. The professionally landscaped front yard features a large firepit area and a paver walkway framed by ambient lighting.
