About This Home

As of July 2026

Tucked away on five peaceful acres near the end of Stein Road, this property feels like a true escape from it all. It offers a rare level of privacy and calm that is getting harder and harder to find. The home features 936 square feet of living space on the main floor with 2 bedrooms and a beautifully tiled bathroom. Character and charm greet you around every corner, highlighted by warm wood accent walls that perfectly complement the cozy wood-burning fireplace anchoring the main living area. Another 936 unfinished square feet downstairs await your personal finishing touches, effortlessly doubling your potential square footage. Recent updates bring peace of mind, including fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, and a newer furnace. For parking and storage, the property includes an oversized garage and a detached carport. Plus a massive shop with a newer roof, a horse stall, a lean-to, and a bathroom that is ready for water hookup. A dedicated fire pit, private trails through the timber, fenced pastures, fruit trees and wide-open meadow space invite you to step outside and fully enjoy the land. Whether you are dreaming of a private retreat or a functional hobby farm, this layout offers flexibility and opportunity...There is even potential for an additional homesite (buyer to verify), making it absolutely perfect for multigenerational living. This is a special place where all of your dreams can come true!
