About this home

This almost 40-acre homestead is where magical moments are made. It catapulted dreams of small farming and created a sense of self-sustaining lifestyle. If you have ever wanted the charm of a 1916 farmhouse with modern updates this is the home for you. The floorplan has been thoughtfully opened up to create a light airy feel with old characteristics intact. Beautiful chef's kitchen with quartz counters. Cross-fenced fields with shelter for field rotation. These owners have used regenerative farming practices to increase soil stability. It is a great hobby farm or could be a small-scale operation for growing veggies, horses, sheep, goats, a few cows, and more. The chicken coop is out back and there is a milking parlor for a single dairy cow.
