About This Home
Step back in time with all the comforts of modern living in this beautifully renovated 1837 farmhouse nestled on 45 acres of serene countryside. Thoughtfully updated in 1999, the main home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, large windows, a slate roof, and charming architectural details throughout. The expansive rear deck is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the views. A separate guest cottage, built in 1968, offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full kitchen, and cozy living space—ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. The oversized detached garage includes a spacious loft area above for storage or potential workshop/studio space. A large cargo barn and approximately 20 acres of fenced pasture lead down to picturesque Judy Creek, complete with a camping area for outdoor fun. Beyond the creek, you'll find roughly 25 acres of mature hardwood forest perfect for hiking, hunting, or exploring. Tucked well off the road for exceptional privacy, this property is a true haven for nature lovers, hobby farmers, or those seeking a peaceful retreat.
