A quiet and serene piece of paradise, this 15.5-acre farm and home are situated far enough from town to feel the benefits of isolation, but close enough that trips to the store aren't an inconvenience. The nearly floor-to-ceiling windows from the living room and the french doors from the dining area open to one of the best screened-in porches in the area. South facing on top of a hill, the sun greets you to your left with morning coffee and settles gently to your right in the evening with a more calming choice of beverage. There are some unfinished projects in this house, a couple of repairs, and plenty of things to update to make the space your own, so let your imagination run wild. With a full unfinished basement, you will have plenty of space for a workshop or storage. The home was recently used as a full-time residence on the main level and as a regularly-booked short-term rental upstairs. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind home in this one-of-a-kind location!

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District
The Rural Mixed-Use District (R-MU) district is intended to allow residential and non-residential development to occur with fewer restrictions in less urbanized areas of the county. The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
