Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting home featuring a spacious floor plan, a bright sun porch, a relaxing screened-in porch, and a full basement offering abundant storage or additional finished living space. One of the home's most charming features is the authentic old-fashioned wood cook stove located in the sun porch—a perfect place to bake fresh homemade bread, prepare hearty country meals, or simply enjoy the warmth and nostalgic character it brings to the home. Step outside and experience a property that has been lovingly developed over the years. Beautiful perennial gardens, wild berries, fenced vegetable garden, and your own established vineyard complete with a charming sitting arbor, and a thriving orchard featuring a variety of fruit trees, allowing you to enjoy fresh harvests throughout the growing season. Whether you're picking grapes, relaxing beneath the arbor with your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, or tending the gardens, you'll appreciate the peaceful lifestyle this property provides. The impressive 40' x 30' pole barn with an additional 40' x 12' open lean-to offers exceptional space for tractors, equipment, recreational vehicles, boats, ATVs, or all the tools needed for country living. The current owners have enjoyed raising rabbits, chickens, and other farm animals, making this an ideal property for hobby farming or those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. For outdoor enthusiasts, this property is truly exceptional. Tucked back in the woods is a well-built hunting blind overlooking established food plots that attract abundant deer.
