There is more than meets the eye at Black Walnut Farm. Its true beauty is found in the subtle details and hidden gems located throughout the property. Built in 1900, this farm house has undergone a complete renovation both inside and outside and dons a brand new metal roof. Pulling into the property, your eye is drawn to a relaxing pond with a floating deck surrounded by trees. Whether you want to catch a catfish or simply sit on the dock at dusk and listen to the frogs croak, the pond offers a respite of peace and tranquility. Entering the house, a vibrant, detailed mural greets you with a snapshot of how the farm originally looked. The painting meanders its way up the original staircase to the second floor which offers two cozy bedrooms and a full bath; perfect for the kids or house guests staying for a visit. The first floor is truly a picturesque modern-industrial farmhouse with hardwood floors throughout. A spacious office area overlooks the front of the property and Starlink internet connects you to the world beyond. Throughout the house, the rooms flow into one another with grace and a feeling of effortless movement. The primary bedroom and its spectacular tiled bath will leave you refreshed and ready for the day. The kitchen, with all new appliances, double sinks, butcher block countertops, and gorgeous island in the middle, overlooks the fenced in garden and greenhouse where your dreams of farm-to-table meals become a reality. The living room is an inviting space with high ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and a little loft nook accessible by a wooden ladder perfect for reading or taking an afternoon nap in the sun. As stunning as the house is on the inside, the outdoor spaces will leave you in awe. The wrap-around porch has a covered al fresco table as the canopy of wisteria vines float above and is surrounded by raised beds of flowers and plants. There is also a brand new in-ground heated saltwater pool to enjoy during the summer months as well as a hot tub to warm you up on winter nights to stargaze. The pool is complete with a cabana and electricity and sits below an amazing view of Bessie Bell Mountain. The property also has a barn with a loft with a ton of space complete with HVAC, roughed in plumbing, and a garage door. There are also two more sheds to store farm equipment or livestock, an apiary ready to be restored, a small apple orchard, a three-bay equipment shed with office space, and a fenced-in chicken coop. But the real gem of the property lies just beyond all the buildings: the secret black walnut groove. These stunning trees and the space where they sit is an absolute treasure and a place to come and be one with nature. Two open pastures offer more farming opportunities.
