If you enjoy your privacy with no restrictions or covenants, then this is the property for you. 14 acres, partially fenced for horses and only minutes from Columbia. We cannot forget about the wooded section for the hunters in the family. The property is surrounded by a privacy fence, provided by mother nature. The Fountain Public Water System is available at the property. The house is a handyman's dream!! It will take some work to get it back into shape. The living room has Antique Hand Hewn Exposed Logs which includes a masonry woodburning fireplace. The outbuilding has a separate electrical service and a concrete floor, which would make a great workshop or mancave. An oak barn that is also ready for some TLC. House and property to be sold in as is condition. Seller to make no allowances or repairs.

Agricultural District
The Agricultural District of Monroe County encompasses areas where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical resources generally provide conditions well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. The district is designed to prevent the intrusion of nonagricultural land use and development which would hinder agricultural pursuits by reason of congestion on public roads, chemical and biological pollution of air and water, environmental conditions, soil erosion, and the depletion of natural cover causing runoff of storm water onto and across agricultural land. The district is designed to protect and preserve the areas of high agricultural productivity and is intended to preserve conditions suitable to agricultural purposes. Anyone applying for a permit for a residence in this Agriculture Zoned District must sign a certificate that they are aware that there might be a sight, smell, or sound of agriculture business in the area.
