Welcome to this charming brick farmhouse nestled in the sprawling countryside. This property boasts 20 acres featuring a raised bed vegetable garden, commercial greenhouse, bee boxes, a chicken coop, a two-stall barn and a fenced-in pasture for your livestock. The sale is for two combined parcels, one for 16.2 acres with the house and gardens and another 3.8 acre mostly wooded parcel with a small peaceful family cemetery. The interior spaces feature original hardwood floors throughout. The heart of the home is the welcoming living room, with a cozy wood burning fireplace, which opens up to a spacious dining room connecting directly to the kitchen. A separate sunroom provides a space for a study or family den. Three bedrooms downstairs and a converted attic space adding two more bedrooms upstairs provides ample space for the entire family or guests. New HVAC installed two years ago for efficient heating and cooling to all spaces in the home, including the 1800sqft full basement, which is plumbed for a 3rd bathroom. The whole house is framed with heart pine lumber, milled locally just up the road. Step outside to experience the true essence of countryside living. The raised-bed vegetable garden offers an abundance of space for fresh produce, and just beyond, fragrant flowers invite leisurely strolls through the property. There are also fruit trees producing peaches, plums and pears, as well as established berries! Escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and embrace the tranquility of a countryside lifestyle. Whether you aspire to cultivate a thriving garden, embark on a new business venture, or simply savor the simple joys of rural life, this enchanting retreat beckons you to make it your own.

Agricultural District
The purpose of this district is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural land, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectionable, hazardous, and unsightly uses. The district is also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas, and scenic values, and at the same time to provide for spacious residential development for those who choose this environment and to prevent untimely scattering of more dense urban uses which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public service.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:

Equestrian facility
Greenhouse / nursery
