Tucked away on 5 scenic acres just outside of West Branch, this spacious farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own acreage, outbuildings, and generous living space at an approachable price point. Located near the gateway to Up North, the setting provides peaceful privacy and open space while remaining conveniently close to town amenities. A substantial 32x90 pole barn anchors the property, offering exceptional storage and workspace potential. Recent exterior improvements include a newer roof, updated windows, updated landscaping, an expansive lawn, and a newly fenced pasture, enhancing both the beauty and functionality of the property. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new interior paint, some new flooring, updated light fixtures and ceiling fans, creating a bright, move-in-ready feel. Additional major updates include a new furnace and new central air, providing comfort and efficiency year-round. The home features large, flexible living areas and a fantastic floor plan ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized kitchen and adjoining dining room serve as the heart of the home, while the main level also includes a spacious living room, primary bedroom, and convenient main-floor laundry. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, offering plenty of space for family or guests. The main bathroom features a tiled soaking tub and generous square footage, creating the perfect private retreat. With an exceptional combination of land, substantial outbuilding, updates, and proximity to town, this property is a standout opportunity. Acreage with this level of improvement and convenience is increasingly hard to find-don't miss your chance to make it yours.
