Rare Brooks acreage with history, heart, and exceptional long-term potential. Set on 55.24 surveyed acres, this legacy property offers the kind of privacy, land utility, and peaceful rural setting that is increasingly hard to find in Fayette County. A private double-gated entrance opens to a long winding driveway where the home is tucked well away from the road, overlooking the pond, open fields, and surrounding countryside. Originally loved and maintained as a working farm, the property includes fenced pasture areas, farm infrastructure, a barn, and an impressive 2,087 sq ft workshop with power, 200-amp service, 220-volt capability, and a separate meter, creating outstanding flexibility for equipment, hobbies, farm use, recreation, or future estate plans. The existing home is full of character and ready for its next chapter. Comfortable and livable as-is, it features antique finishes and offers a wonderful opportunity for a thoughtful modern renovation. The main level includes a kitchen, dining room, family room, sunroom, primary suite with bath, and a mudroom/laundry area off the carport. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The setting is beautiful, with views across the pond and pasture beyond. The land is the true centerpiece. With approximately 804 feet of road frontage, Agricultural-Residential zoning, and a 5-acre minimum lot size, the property offers multiple possible paths: create a private estate, enjoy farm life, build a private retreat, hold as a recreational property, or explore future estate-lot division, subject to buyer verification and governmental approval. The pond, pastures, wooded areas, privacy, and rural infrastructure combine to create a property with both immediate enjoyment and long-term possibility. This land was once the heart of a working cattle farm and the fulfillment of its former owner's dream. Pastures were thoughtfully managed for rotating cattle, while the pond, open meadows, wooded edges, and private setting became the backdrop for years of outdoor living, fishing, camping, riding, exploring, and gathering. Today, the property invites its next owner to create their own version of that story, whether that means restoring farm life, building a private estate, creating trails, enjoying weekends by the pond, keeping animals, storing equipment, planting gardens, or simply preserving the peace and quiet of Brooks. This is more than acreage. It is a Brooks legacy property with a story, a setting, and the space to create something truly special.
