This property will be offered at Public Auction on Thursday, June 25, 2026 @ 6pm. The listing price is the opening bid only and in no way reflects the final sale price. 10% down due at auction, 2% transfer tax to be paid by the purchaser, real estate taxes prorated. Nestled in a peaceful setting with beautiful country views, mature trees, and perennial flowers throughout the property, this charming home offers comfortable living spaces along with unique outdoor amenities perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The main level features a spacious eat-in kitchen, a convenient mudroom/entryway with laundry area, a full bathroom, a bedroom, a flexible bedroom or office space, and a bright sunroom that provides additional living space and scenic views of the surrounding property. The second floor includes an additional bedroom with expandable space offering future potential, while the unfinished basement with concrete floors and a wood stove with floor registers provides extra storage or workshop space. Additional amenities include an original cozy cabin-style playhouse with a firepit area, a storage barn, an enclosed back porch, and a detached 3-car garage with running water. A special piece of local history is tied to the property, as this former schoolhouse once housed the original Doe Run School bell, which was later donated to Doe Run Elementary School across the road, where it remains on display today. Whether you are looking for a weekend retreat, starter home, or peaceful country getaway, this property offers plenty of potential and so much to enjoy.
