Welcome to 5017 Chickering Road! The house and barn sits on 40 acres of pristine tillable and wooded acreage. The spacious farmhouse has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and was remodeled by the owners when they moved in during the early nineties and has loads of potential. There is a great 1750 sq/ft barn with plenty of storage for all your toys and equipment. The barn has a separate 400 amp electrical service that is partially wired. There was a new concrete floor and foundation added to the barn 3 years ago to ensure it's longevity. The current owner has about 10+/- acres of tillable leased out to a local farmer. The other tillable acreage was converted to hops a few years back and the seller is leaving the potential option open for buyers to continue that hops operation if they so please. Otherwise, there is an agreement for the hops equipment to be sold and the trellis to be removed. The property is truly immaculate. For the hunters, there is great food and cover all over the property. The deer population is great and the seller has reported great success in years past. There are many potential foodplot locations and great potential blind/treestand spots as well. You rarely see trees as large as some that are standing on this property and there is no evidence of ANY cutting on the property since the seller has owned it and much longer before. Farms and large acreage tracts in locations like this are far and few between. The farm is only 45 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, 30 minutes from Rockford, and 10 minutes from downtown Belding. If you are looking for some great country living, an awesome hobby farm, or some great potential hunting property this is it! The potential and possibilities for this property are truly endless and I highly recommend checking it out.
