About This Home
Nestled on 7.03 +/- acres just half a mile from paved roads, this enchanting hobby farm offers a harmonious blend of modern conveniences and timeless country charm-perfect for animal lovers and acreage seekers alike. The property is thoughtfully equipped for livestock with a loafing shed featuring an automatic waterer, a spacious chicken coop, and an area already prepped for future pasture with t-posts installed and a solar electric fencer ready to go. The mature grove has been carefully thinned and newly sown with shade-loving pasture grasses, cultivating a peaceful, shaded haven for animals and people. Recent enhancements have elevated the outbuildings: the classic corn crib now boasts a brand-new roof and partial fresh metal siding, while the shop features spray foam insulation, a newly installed insulated garage door, and heating to ensure year-round comfort. For added convenience and sustainability, a modern external wood boiler system has been installed, providing either primary or backup heating for both the home and hot water supply. Step inside the farmhouse and discover original woodwork, lovingly restored within the past decade, preserving the warmth and character of traditional country living. Newer windows, also added in the last ten years, offer both comfort and energy efficiency. Whether you dream of raising livestock, gathering fresh eggs each morning, or simply enjoying scenic acreage less than ten minutes from town, this exceptional property stands ready to welcome you home to the best of rural living.
