Price improvement- now is a great time to take a look at this unique property. Built in 1831 and thoughtfully maintained, this farmhouse sits on almost 5 acres and is well-suited for those seeking a functional hobby farm or homestead. The property offers usable land, established pasture areas, and the infrastructure to support a variety of animals. The home’s welcoming porch sets the tone, offering the perfect spot to relax and take in the surrounding countryside. Featuring 4 bedrooms and a full bath with a flexible layout that can accommodate farm living. The updated kitchen provides generous counter space and flows into the dining area, where a wood-burning stove (2022) creates a cozy, inviting gathering space while helping with heating costs. Just off the back entrance, an over-sized laundry room adds everyday practicality and the tastefully updated full bathroom is conveniently located off this space. A bonus room on the first floor works well as a bedroom, office, or playroom, and two staircases reflect the home’s original charm and design. Major improvements include a new electrical panel, septic system (2022), roof (2023), and well pump (2025), along with updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. The land is thoughtfully set up with three fenced pasture areas: a front pasture (fenced in 2023) suitable for a riding ring or turnout, a smaller pasture with shelter for goats, sheep, or pigs, and a larger rear pasture (fenced in 2025) with a tree line that provides shade and natural browsing. The large barn, originally part of a dairy operation, features traditional timber-frame construction with mortise-and-tenon joinery, and hand-hewn beams- highlighting its strength and craftsmanship. This barn provides flexibility for livestock, storage, or future improvements. There’s also a covered outdoor pavilion for relaxing or entertaining, as well as a separate outbuilding that has been converted into a casual hangout space or “man cave, ” complete with electricity. While the property is being sold in as-is condition it’s apparent that the owner has taken great pride in updating and maintaining it while still holding on to its timeless character. If you’ve been looking for something with land, functionality, and authentic farmhouse charm, this property is worth a closer look.
