The small chasm between a home becoming a haven is distinctively crossed and achieved once you hit the gravel driveway that takes you to the idyllic homestead of this historic, farm-style home. Situated on over 6-acres of rolling pastures, creeks, and woods, the equestrian anchored land is equipped with a 5-stall barn, paddock and horse arena, and white-fenced lined property. On land that is meant to be enjoyed and consumed with play and pleasure, don't miss the filtered pool that is easily mistaken for a small pond, enjoy the crackling fire pit and have your guests seated around the sleeping porch to soak up the serenity. Step inside to this piece of classic American architecture with hardwoods throughout, ample space to live, work, and play, and enjoy the updated play/schooling space that adds to the downstairs living area. The unique combination of location, land, and liberty all amass here in a way that is quite simply put: astonishing. Drive on in and let the haven speak for itself.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
