Description

From the very brief moment your wheels touch gravel the views are stunning! If you are looking for the place to start your legacy you have found it! The memories to be made on this 168+/- acres of beautiful property will be vast. Holiday gatherings in the spacious great room overflowing into the sunroom will be treasured forever. Updating this 2200sf (approx) 3bd/3ba house to be your home is likely but with rooms this large your family will be able to grow here for many, many years. The lower level offers the same quality space as the main level for your family's perfect game room without having to sacrifice storage, that craft room or that man cave you've dreamt of. Walk outside from either floor of this home to see the abundant wildlife and spectacular sunsets across the rolling fields you've been working towards. Spend countless hours piddling in the workshop that's in your nearly 3000sf barn, tending to the horses in either of the 2 stalls (hold 4 horses), or on any of the other many projects you are sure to have going in progress. Before the day is over have the kids grab a snack from your very own apple tree, grape arbor, or some of your tame blackberries and begin your adventure into the forest. The cook in your family will enjoy all of those homegrown treats as well as a producing asparagus bed, a newly planted cherry tree and a gooseberry shrub. During your forest adventure you will find 3 ponds strategically spaced throughout. When you come upon clubhouse field you may lose your passengers while their imaginations come to life in what you may call your warmest hunting spot. Once you rangle them back in, head deeper into the forest on any of the several drivable trails, if you're watching closely, you may find a few natural ground blinds before you get to the fenced perimeter that separates you from 770 acres of US Forestry land. As you make your way around the well maintained property you may pop out in the pasture soon to be the favorite of your herd, the warm season grass pasture will keep them content and fed all summer long. On these two parcels of land there are many fertilized acres of hay producing pastures as well as plenty of woods for all of your hunting adventures. One of the 3 sided sheds on the property is stocked well with firewood, the other one is ready to house your equipment. Have peace of mind at the end of the day in this very sound build that offers a fresh roof (w/ tear off) in 2025 and a new AC unit in 2024. A Victor wood heat source and radiant ceiling heat will ensure your family is warm and is an excellent source to keep the pipes from freezing for any winter trips you may want to take and not have to worry about someone tending to the firebox. The fireplace is ducted into the sunroom, primary bathroom and the mud room. The wood box can be kept stocked from outside the house keeping you warmer. Even though the entire house has central vac, your spouse will be happier not having wood hauled through the house. HIGH SPEED INTERNET on a rural property is a rare amenity these days but this property has that as well which offers even more family happiness, the opportunity to work from home or run your own business onsite. If storage is a problem in this house you are a very well established collector because everywhere you look there are features that offer storage including the oversized 2 door 2 car garage with a closet and convenient attic access. This home has never been owned by anyone other than family since it was built, 2 owners! Having your very own piece of local history, a Yancy Mill millstone, will only enrich your legacy being built on this farm. Properties that offer so very much don't hit the market too often, schedule an appt to tour this one soon!
