Nice 40 acre Hobby Farm with mostly open pastureland, currently being used to harvest hay. Along the back side of the property, you will find the ambling sounds of Kelsey creek, known for trout fishing and sure to bring in the surrounding wildlife. The 36 x 36ft Pole Barn has a 14 ft door along with 2 maintenance doors and has in-floor heat, water and is insulated. The home has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, which needs some TLC, and currently is not hooked up for water or heat. One of the several outbuildings could be converted into a great child’s playhouse or a small office. Next to the well is a spigot to hook up an RV to live in while you fix up the current home or build your dream home.
