This unique homestead sits on 17.5 acres between the Laurel and Chestnut Ridges. As you enter the home, you will find great woodwork throughout parts of the house which was harvested from trees on the property. The spacious kitchen features hand-made oak cabinets. The living room and dining room feature the original, well-cared-for hardwood flooring. Stepping into the living room, you're greeted by the wood-burning stone fireplace. A well-appointed barn sits below the house and has 4 horse stalls. The house has hookups for a generator to power the house during a power outage. A non-freeze hand pump was installed to the water-well so that, if you happen to lose power, you still have access to water. Frost-free water lines also service the chicken coop and the barn. The home is supplied by 3 types of heating resources: wood, coal, and oil. This is the perfect house for those who are looking to get back to the basics of life, or those who are looking for a great self-sustaining home!
