About this home

Price improvement to this stellar poultry farm! So, you want to get into the Poultry Business??? Look no further!!! This farm has an active contract in good standing with Mountaire and is in excellent working condition. There are 2-42x500 Houses built in 1995 as well as 2-50x500 houses built in 2005. Numerous upgrades have been made over the last 5 years including Tunnel Doors, Stir Fans, Outside Main Breaker Disconnects just to mention a few. Choretime Feeders are in all houses with 2 Houses of Valco and Ziggity Drinkers each. Radiant Tube Heaters are in all house and there are sufficient Tunnel Fans to meet integrator specs already in place. A 105 KW Generator with minimal hours and Transfer Switches help make this a turnkey farm. There is a Manure Shed and additional Storage Building that convey with the farm as well. Besides all the farm equipment an adorable Rancher also conveys with the property. Now let's talk about the adorable rancher. Getting into the poultry business often means a not so well kept quarters that aren't fit for you and your people. In this property you will get a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom one floor living home that screams "Welcome HOME!". The eat in kitchen has tons of sunlight with a breakfast bar and pass through that offers even more seating. Entering the family room from the kitchen, you will have access to the back patio also gleaming with tons of natural light from all the windows. In the living room you will notice the vaulted ceilings and comfort of a living area that is spacious and cozy. There is a primary bedroom with plenty of closet space, a private bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. The bathroom also has storage. Both of the other two bedrooms also offer walk in closets. There is no shortage of storage space in this home. The sellers have done many upgrades to the home over the past 5 years to include flooring, HVAC, well maintained crawl space and other personal touches to make it the perfect place to live. The hot water heater was replaced less than a month ago as well.

AR-1

Agricultural Residential District

The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
Veterinary clinic
Agriculture
Park & open space
