This is a unique and interesting income producing farm that was previously used to raise emus as an income source. This 40-acre property has the 3-4-bedroom home with two car attached garage, several outbuildings, and sheds. The house was built in the early 1900'. It has a full basement and stone foundation. There have been several recent improvements such as a newer well, updated mechanicals, and a partial metal roof. It could be lived in as is, remodeled to fit a buyer’s taste, used as a rental or maybe a combination of all the choices. There are approximately 16-18 acres of income producing tillable farm ground, 4-5 acres of fenced pasture and fields where the current owner kept animals and cut hay. The balance of the 40, other than the farmyard, is a combination of grass, brushy area and thickets, some small timber area and low/wetlands. A Certified Forester did an informal survey and stated there may be some money in walnut on the property and surely some gained value in trees if they are let mature for a few more years. The farm has an old historic barn which could easily be restored, several other sheds and lean-tos. A portion of the property is fenced so it might make a great location or horses or other animals. The current owner is no longer living here so you will see with a little cleanup and TLC, this property has a lot of potential. Additionally, with all of the natural cover and diverse habitat on the property along with food and water, there is an abundance of Deer and turkey sign on the property as well as small game and waterfowl. There also appears to be numerous opportunities to improve the property even more for farming, hunting, recreation or conservation. Although the farm ground does produce moderately well, it could be even better with some improved drainage. If you lean more toward the recreational or conservation mindset, the properties natural features, habitat and low areas could be further enhanced to create a nice year-round water source or pond or maybe a great candidate for a subsidized conservation or wetland mitigation program. There is also an adjacent 80-acre tract available to be purchased if you are a buyer looking for additional acreage.
