Are you dreaming of owning a piece of history? This rarely available farmhouse on the outskirts of Gumboro, offers the charm of country living on 2 acres of serene land. This home was renovated down to the studs in 2003, tripling its size while maintaining its classic charm. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the spacious primary suite includes a whirlpool tub and walk-in shower. While this fixer-upper is in need of some TLC, the solid bones and unique features, such as a remote wood furnace (not currently in use), make it a great project for the right buyer. The walk-up attic features 400+ sq ft of storage space. The property also boasts a large 30x50 pole barn with 4 bays and a 25x40 garage, both equipped with electric—perfect for storage, hobbies, or even a small business. The tranquil setting and sprawling acreage create a peaceful retreat where you can truly feel at home. This farmhouse is being sold AS IS. Come explore the potential of this unique property today!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

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.
