Nestled just outside the charming town of German Valley, this beautifully remodeled farmhouse combines modern amenities with rustic country charm. As you step inside, you’re immediately greeted by a spacious mudroom, the perfect entryway to leave the hustle and bustle of the outside world behind. It’s thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage, built-in shelving, and room for everything from coats to a freezer — a functional and welcoming space for all your outdoor adventures. Moving into the kitchen, you'll find a space that’s both functional and beautiful. With stunning granite countertops, white cabinetry, and sleek stainless steel appliances, this kitchen is built for both family meals and entertaining. The oversized pantry offers plenty of storage, while the large island and built-in table area provide ample space for meal prep and casual gatherings. High ceilings and abundant natural light create a feeling of openness, making this area feel even more expansive. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the family and living rooms, creating an open layout that’s perfect for entertaining or relaxing with loved ones. On the main level, you’ll also find a spacious office and a full bathroom, providing convenience and flexibility for remote work or guest accommodation. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each offering plenty of space for rest and relaxation. They share a full bathroom, and the highlight — a convenient second-floor laundry room that makes everyday living just a bit easier. One of the bedrooms even features a fun walk-up ladder leading to a private playroom, perfect for kids to enjoy their own space — with a built-in projector for movie nights or imaginative adventures. Step outside and you’ll find a beautifully designed paver patio — the perfect spot for enjoying quiet evenings or hosting family barbecues. The property also includes 1.25 acres of fenced pasture, ideal for livestock, along with shelters to provide your animals with comfort and protection. This is more than just a house; it’s a lifestyle. With plenty of space to roam, raise animals, or simply enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside, this property offers everything you need to create your dream home. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this remarkable farmhouse your own. Red buildings and machine shed are not included.
