Welcome to your own slice of country paradise! This charming 2-story farmhouse offers 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and over 2,000 square feet of living space, perfectly situated on 5.2 scenic acres with approximately 2 acres of tillable land currently used for hay. The property just yielded 105 bales, now stored and ready for your livestock or homesteading needs. The home features a spacious remodeled kitchen, bath, and laundry area (2010), highlighted by a large island, solid surface countertops, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area-ideal for everyday living or entertaining. Original hardwood, engineered wood, and carpeted flooring flow throughout. An unfinished second-floor room includes rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom or potential 5th bedroom. The full basement and attached 2-car garage (connected by a large breezeway) offer ample storage and flexibility. Outdoors, enjoy your own mini-farm operation with a wide range of outbuildings, including: 29x40 corn crib, 28x80 machine shed, 45x24 chicken pen, 98x26 open front barn, 24x37 livestock barn, 26x36 two-story barn with hay loft (originally a schoolhouse), 10x16 garden shed, and grain bin. A creek winds through the south of property, and the land includes a well-established garden with tomatoes, corn, beans, zucchini, peas, and broccoli-plus apple trees that produce in late summer. There's even a private shooting range and plenty of space for horses, animals, or large family gatherings. Major updates include a new air conditioner (2021), furnace (2016), water heater (2010), freshly painted exterior (2024), and a new well dug in 2021. Propane fuel, private well and septic, and all barns are equipped with WiFi for security camera use.
