What a find in the heart of Dekalb county! This little gem of a farmhouse sits atop a hill on over 7 fabulous acres! The house and 5 outbuildings sits on 2.8 acres and the rest of the acreage is across the road - wooded and bordering fish creek that's great for fishing! There have been trails in the past for horse riding or ATVs. This parcel borders land owned by the Nature Conservatory. The farmhouse is almost 2,000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The retro kitchen is fun and has plenty of storage. Keeping with the time period of the house, there is a large dining area where the family can gather for meals and time well spent! There is also a family room, den, and office/library on the mail level. The upper level has a bright and cheery landing with a closet big enough for both bedrooms to share. Utilities are almost nothing with the geothermal heat and cooling. Almost all the windows have been replaced. There is a new 4" well, new siding, a new Trek deck, new carpet in living room and dining room, and all barns have been painted - two with steel roofs. The electric has been upgraded to 200 amp. If privacy is what you want then schedule your showing now!
