When asked what the Sellers loved most it is the serenity and the beauty. This is one of the prettiest tracks of land & was a working cattle farm until the 1st of this year. Video was taken before all livestock was sold or given to family members. Sellers are Century Farm owners, they are retiring. The Sellers currently live in the 3 Bedroom 2 Bath home that has a bonus room heated with a Mitsubishi Splitter that heats & cools, Approx. 316.25 sq ft. They also have a Culligan Water purifier whole house system. Gas fireplace in Liv Rm, Screened porch (10.6x8.7), above ground pool w/deck (Pool is now ready for the summer & doesn't look anything like the photos where it was winterized). This is what is being sold: Parcel numbers: 219663 (9.4 acres) & 219916 (4.43 acres = 13.83 acres). The barn was built on the back side of this parcel (resembles a bow tie) the house and the tractor shop was built on parcel 219663. Plenty of room for your own ideas. . Appointments Required.
