About this home

Incredible 23 country acres with an updated family size farmhouse and a pole barn style 2 car garage. The setting is very QUIET and PRIVATE with rolling land, hardwoods, beautiful pines, lawn and even a sparkling little view of the neighboring lake! A classic older barn and numerous outbuildings are currently used for storage but could be adapted for many uses. The heart of this home is the original granary so the ceilings are wonderful wood with original beams. Added in the late 90's are a 15x29 living/dining room, an 18x19 family room and an upstairs that houses 3 large bedrooms! There is one main floor bedroom, main floor laundry and a full, updated bath on each floor. Wood burner in LR and outdoor wood furnace stay but are not currently hooked up. Amazing views in all directions!
