Property Description

COUNTRY HOME & FARM PROPERTY ON 10+ ACRES! Discover a truly unique property offering over 10 acres of fenced and thoughtfully used land, ideal for livestock, horses, gardening, and those looking to embrace a self-sufficient country lifestyle. The spacious home features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, an updated kitchen with new appliances, a large master suite with a balcony plus new skylights including automatic shade openers . A brand-new roof adds peace of mind, while the attached 2-car garage, pole barns and fenced backyard provide additional convenience and storage. The property is fully fenced and designed for livestock, with multiple pastures and pens ready for continued agricultural use. The large, fully stocked pond features three aerating fountains, two docks and has recently been riprapped around the perimeter, providing a wonderful recreational setting while enhancing the pond's shoreline. Plus a waterfowl-duck building just off the large pond. A second smaller pond is conveniently located near the large garden area and is used for watering the gardens adding another unique feature to this exceptional property. Multiple barns and outbuildings provide abundant space for tractors, equipment, livestock supplies, feed, storage, and more. An additional Harvest Station building, constructed in 2018, is equipped with water and electricity, offering a versatile space for agricultural, gardening, or homestead needs. The current owner has lived off the land for the past 3 decades and has continually improved the property, including adding new fence posts, electric fencing, automatic feeders, and other improvements designed to make homesteading easier. Much of what you need to continue raising livestock, waterfowl or horses, and enjoying a country lifestyle is already in place. Whether you're looking to continue the existing livestock operation, raise horses, grow your own food, or simply enjoy the privacy and freedom of country living, this property offers an incredible opportunity. Established homesteads with this level of infrastructure, acreage, ponds, barns, fencing, and improvements are truly hard to find.
