The most recent span being 51 years and now you have the opportunity to continue that legacy by adding to its rich history. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by the beautiful original staircase leading upstairs.

A wonderful sun filled family area with a natural gas fireplace and full bath was added to the home, this room leads to the large kitchen with wood heating stove and dining area. Another full bath and utility room are located just outside of the kitchen. Upstairs holds the primary bedroom with a half bath and two additional bedrooms, one of which has a very large walk-in closet. There is also another full bath, through which access is gained to a large bonus space, which if finished could be an additional bedroom.

Outbuildings include a very nice 28 x 30 shop with concrete floor and large storage area upstairs and a big 30 X 56 hay barn with a 20 X 56 lean-to that is ideal for livestock or horses. One of the rare attributes of this farm acreage is its 2 ponds, the largest of which is 1 acre +/-. These are an excellent source of water for pastured animals as well as the very active wildlife populations, including whitetails and turkeys. Hardwoods and softwoods make up the 9+/- acres of timber and fence line rows, providing bedding areas and shelter. The proximity to neighboring row crop grounds also provide easy forage to help hold the deer population. This beautiful small acreage farm provides everything, a home, pasture, ponds, outbuildings, hunting, and a wonderful place to start making memories.
