About This Home
If you're dreaming of a true homestead, look no further — this property has it all! Entirely powered by solar with credits going back into the grid each month, it offers sustainable living at its best. Bring your chickens, horses, or other livestock — there's already room for them, along with plenty of trails to ride and explore. For the woodworker or hobbyist, a complete shop is ready and waiting (equipment shown in photos not included). An orchard of apple and pear trees, plus high-bush blueberries, provides fresh harvests right from your land.
The 1800s farmhouse has seen many upgrades, with some finishing touches left for you to make it your own. A spacious oversized two-car garage includes an attached workshop for added utility.
This unique property combines privacy, sustainability, and convenience — offering the perfect homestead lifestyle while still being just minutes from shopping and entertainment. Truly a must-see! This property is being sold in ''AS IS Condition''
