Description
THE HOME - Nestled over 1,000 feet from the closest road, your dream country home awaits. A welcoming front porch perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine guides you into the home. You will be fascinated with the natural light that shines into the dining room. The completely updated farmhouse kitchen with all new appliances begs to be cooked in. The living room, with its 23-foot tall ceilings, has a wood burner that will provide soothing warmth even on the coldest of days. This room opens to the large back deck, which provides a simply perfect sunset retreat. The main level has a nice-sized bedroom currently being used as a guest bed that sits next to the main level full bath. Making your way upstairs, you will find 2 additional bedrooms and the most perfect farmhouse bath. This home has been well-designed with geothermal heating and cooling, rural water, and a well water option. All of the rainwater from this home is guttered and piped into holding tanks to provide a massive freshwater storage system. This was intended to play a major role in preparing this home to be off-grid capable. The basement is unfinished but dry and provides a ton of storage. A small office and the laundry are housed here. The basement also provides a protected entrance to the two-car garage that has been wired for vehicle charging.
THE LAND - The land here is the true heartbeat of this parcel. It has taken over 35 years of continuous efforts to get the land into the condition it is today. Having the ability to purchase a parcel such as this is a rare opportunity. Having the opportunity to pick up at this stage of development provides the new buyer a chance to put their final ideas onto an already beautiful canvas. The barn has served many purposes over its life. Currently, the horse stalls have been removed and the workshop has been expanded. The back is home to chickens and the loft serves as storage and also a play area for the kids. The hill above the barn is a special place on this property. One that has stayed unchanged since its beginning. The garden is full of herbs and vegetables, surrounded by perennial flowers that will provide color to the vases in the home from spring to fall. Above the garden, the orchard has been cared for and will bear enough fruit to fill the pantry shelves full of jams and jellies. The pasture is in great condition and is protected on all sides with good fence. The pasture has been paddocked to allow for rotational grazing and to maximize forage production and quality. There is a small open-front shed in the pasture that provides shelter for both equipment and livestock. There is a Walipini greenhouse along the driveway. The water system needs to be repaired but is still being used as a plant starter. The land behind the home provides an entirely different type of experience and level of enjoyment. This land is made up of Hardwood timber, rolling hills, and the most peaceful timber-protected pond that is teaming with bass, bluegill, and catfish. For the current owners, this area has been where they relax with family and friends. The rope swing and campsite are guaranteed to bring a smile to the faces of all who are lucky enough to enjoy them. The timberland is teaming with wildlife and is capable of providing some excellent whitetail and small game hunting. This is truly a rare parcel of land. Don't miss this opportunity.
