Step back in time to this enchanting historical Johnson Farmhouse, built in 1857 and nestled on 6.5 beautiful acres featuring rolling hills and gentle elevation changes — not just flat land, but a truly picturesque setting. Multiple outbuildings offer endless potential for hobby farming, workshops, or storage — including a 1,500 sq ft multipurpose greenhouse with two garage doors, perfect for gardening, storage, a workshop, or even additional parking. Enjoy the serene pond and lake views across the street, adding to the peaceful and scenic charm of this one-of-a-kind property. This cherished 4-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse exudes timeless character. Spend quiet mornings on the covered screened-in sunroom, or cozy evenings gathered around the potbelly stove, watching the flames glow and fill the home with warmth. The farmhouse kitchen, centered around its natural wood-burning fireplace, has long been the heart of family gatherings — from all-day holiday cookie bakes with nieces and nephews to memorable meals shared around the table. Inside, original millwork and tall windows fill the home with natural light, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. While the home does not feature modern updates and awaits restoration, its soul and structure offer a rare opportunity to bring new life to a historic treasure. Step outside and explore the multiple storage barns, the expansive greenhouse, and open acreage ideal for gardens, animals, or future expansion. Whether you dream of a peaceful retreat, a working homestead, or a place to write your next chapter, this property offers the space and serenity to make it your own.
