Tranquility abounds in this 7.4 acre horse property on the outskirts of Harvard. Lots of room for your animals and your people. The house is a cedar sided ranch with voluminous living spaces and multiple private bedroom spaces across approximately 3000 square feet. The house contains 4 potential bedrooms in total along with a dining room, living room, great room, family room, kitchen, laundry room and mudroom. 2 of the bedrooms have attached full bathrooms and walk in closets, a third bedroom with access to another bathroom right outside the door and a 4th room that doesn't have a closet but could easily be a bedroom using the closet directly across the hall or adding your own closet. The largest primary bedroom has direct access to the 22' x 36' rear wooden deck and offers 2 walk in closets and an enormous bathroom with heated floors, double vanity and a walk in shower. The living room and great room have impressively high, vaulted ceilings with walls of windows allowing for huge amounts of natural light even on the gloomiest of weather days. The kitchen is in the middle/heart of the home with direct access to the dining, living and great rooms and the mud room on the back of the home for ease of bringing in groceries and supplies. The family room is off the mudroom and would make a great hang out space or dedicated office with it's built in bookcases. The outbuildings are functional and provide space for all your equipment/toys and your menagerie. The 2 car garage is oversized with high ceilings and leads directly to the 4 horse stalls with feed room. The stalls lead out to the 4 paddocks, grazing pasture and limestone riding pad. Behind the horse stalls is a large 40 x 17 workshop that is multifunctional and could house an array of hobbies like wood working, welding, glass blowing, furniture making, cobbling, blacksmithing or could simply be used as storage. There is a 1 car overhead garage door that allows access to the workshop for larger equipment. An additional shed is located at the rear of the property and was used by the prior owner as a shooting range. Many, many options exist for this property and it's new owner. 1 year old roof on the house and the garage, new furnace, well pump and baseboard heaters in family room.
