Homestead with 3-bedroom 1 bath home, outbuildings, mature trees, and priceless views from every part of the 9.06 acres. This picturesque rural property set amongst gentle rolling hills on a quiet road is the epitome of country living. The historical roots of this farm run deep, the current owners have had it in the family since 1942, the pioneer Boyd Rowen, builder of the first bank in Kirkland in 1882 purchased the farm at age 22, and James K Polk, 11th president of the United States (1845-1849) first deeded the property to Lawrence Russell in 1847. The 1,973 SF farmhouse has hardwood floors, spacious kitchen and dining room, and first floor bedrooms. The home is awaiting your personal style to be infused into your vision of it's next remodel. The buildings have evolved with the times as the 42' x 72' Morton Building has concrete floors, electric, and a 14' door to store everything from your farming implements to the largest 5th wheel RV. The 25' x 48' heated and insulated workshop/garage comfortably fits your vehicles and has a separate shop space for hobbies or a home business. The 80' x 36' barn is covered in newer Morton steel and has water, electric, stalls, and a hayloft that's been filled with hay for generations of livestock. The south side of the barn has a run-in that is aching to have horses in it again. The lay-out of the parcel is ideal for an approximately 3-acre pasture directly adjacent to the run-in, perfect for horses and other livestock. Area amenities include the top-notch Winding Creek Equestrian Center, just a country block away on the south side of the hill. You could ride from your yard there for lessons and clinics, and buy high quality hay to feed your horses or other livestock. The permitted uses with this property's Ag Zoning in DeKalb County allows for the freedom and independence to use this property much as its previous inhabitants did, such as raising livestock, shooting sports, and archery. Check DeKalb County's website for the extensive list of other permitted uses. This homestead is perfect for those who wish to live the country lifestyle and is waiting for you to add your own chapter to this property's storied history. Schedule a showing today as this property needs to be experienced in person to truly appreciate everything owning this parcel offers.
