Beautiful hilltop turn-of-the-century home on nearly 4 private acres with breathtaking sunrise and sunset views, surrounded by mature trees, abundant wildlife, and peaceful countryside. Located just minutes from Treynor with only one mile of gravel, this unique acreage offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and versatility. Built in 1902, the main home showcases stunning original woodwork, doors, hardwood floors, extra-wide stairways, and the timeless charm of a classic American foursquare farmhouse. The 1800 square foot home includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, spacious living and dining areas, and an updated kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a beautifully restored original built-in cabinet wall that preserves its historic character. An all-electric, separately metered guest house with its own septic system creates exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, rental income, a home-based business, or private workspace. The 696 square foot studio-style layout includes living, kitchen, sleeping, bathroom, and laundry/storage areas. The grounds have been thoughtfully developed into a private country retreat with more than 20 fruit trees, established grapevines, additional windbreak trees, a large fenced garden with nutrient-rich soil, a rainwater collection system, multiple outbuildings, a large tractor shed, a spacious barn currently used as a gym and music studio, and a dedicated poultry area complete with an insulated coop, nesting boxes, and a solar-powered automatic door. A small backyard pond attracts birds, frogs, dragonflies, and other wildlife, while trails winding through the trees invite exploration and outdoor enjoyment. For the past four years, the land has been maintained using organic practices without pesticides or chemical weed treatments. Recent improvements include a high-efficiency Bosch heat pump and air conditioning system, attic insulation, refinished hardwood floors, updated kitchen, fresh interior paint, garage and outbuilding improvements, and numerous additional upgrades. Properties combining historic character, modern updates, usable acreage, a second residence, income potential, and natural beauty are increasingly difficult to find.
