"Follow the trail to peace and tranquility!" This property has the private setting you have been looking for! Approximately 9 acres of upper ground to enjoy - amazing views, open spaces and rolling hills! The residence was built in 1994 - you'll appreciate the large front porch and rear deck that runs the length of the home. Dollar wise - the Hardy furnace (supplemental wood furnace) heats the house and also provides hot water supply allowing amazingly low utility bills-keeping dollars in your pocket! The detached oversized two car garage also benefits from the Hardy furnace with heated concrete flooring. Updates include a newer architectural shingled roof in 2012, oversized guttering and electrical panel in 2011. House is even wired for a portable generator should a power outage occur! Plenty of storage available - a 24 x 40 barn with lean to on both sides - could easily be converted to horse stalls! A gardeners paradise - established fruit trees and fenced garden area.

A
Agricultural Industry District
The A Agricultural Industry District encompasses prime and important farmland in St. Clair County where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical conditions are well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. These areas have been traditionally used for agricultural farming, the raising of domestic animals and poultry, horticulture, forestry, and truck gardening.; The St. Clair County Board is aware of the historical and continuing importance of agriculture to the economic and social structure of the County and of the unique characteristics and requirements necessary to retain agriculture as a viable industry. In recognition of this, the St. Clair County Board has established and adopted as a long range goal, the conservation and preservation of prime and important farmland (as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Evaluation System) and has acted to implement this goal through the adoption of a Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
