* * * OFFERS DUE TUESDAY, 12 MAY, 12 NOON * * * Set on 10 private acres in Madison County, this 1930s farmstead approaches its hundredth year with the kind of character that cannot be newly built. Move through the repeated archways, and you will find versatile rooms that adapt to how you actually live — a main-level primary suite with views that make you stay in bed a little longer, flexible upstairs bedrooms for family or guests, and a finished basement with its own quiet corner that rewards whoever finds it. At the center of it all is a kitchen built around an authentic 170-year-old butcher block island, a large propane range, and a wood-burning cooking alcove that turns an ordinary evening into something worth staying home for. A butler's pantry and added half bath mean the house works as well as it feels. And framing the living room is a 1750 fireplace mantle salvaged from the rectory of the Hebron Lutheran Church — the oldest continuously operating Lutheran Church in America — with a wood-burning insert behind it that heats the room quietly on its own. Outside, the deck looks out over wildflower meadows in full color from spring through autumn – certified as a wildlife habitat for the pollinators and birds that bring this land to life. You can walk a couple of miles without ever leaving the property, and Old Rag is just 20 minutes down the road when you are ready for more. Back on the land, the renovated guest house gives family and friends their own private retreat — full bath, kitchenette, their own front door — or from April through October, it can be income. Beyond it, the 1950s dairy barn, with its original hay hook and extraordinary loft, is a vision waiting for the right imagination. A working greenhouse, an established garden, a modest chicken coop, and high-speed Verizon internet are waiting for whoever is ready to put them to use. All of it, on nearly 10 acres, built for a life most people only dream about. Schedule your private tour today. Properties like this do not wait.
