    Property Description

    Bring your vision, your tools and your appreciation for rural character to this 5-acre former dairy and cattle farm. The farmhouse offers a true rustic, old-fashioned feel, with the original year built unknown and believed to date to the late 1800s or early 1900s. The home needs significant renovation and updating, but several improvements have already been completed, including select replacement windows, added insulation in the main-floor walls, LVP flooring in the kitchen, dining area and mudroom, new carpet in the main-floor bedroom, and mini-split heating and cooling. The main-floor family room is currently being used as an additional bedroom. The property includes numerous outbuildings, including a detached 30x24 garage with a partially concrete floor, two hay sheds, an 896-square-foot steel-frame machine shed with a dirt floor, and a former cattle barn that has been converted into an insulated and heated shop. The septic system and well are both less than five years old, and the septic is compliant. Both systems were financed through a county loan program, with the remaining balances assessed through the property taxes. This is not a polished country home - it is a renovation opportunity with acreage, outbuildings and substantial rural infrastructure already in place. For a buyer who values rustic farmhouse character and is prepared to take on a project, this property offers a rare chance to restore a piece of country history.
