The home has a very farmer-friendly mud room as you enter the home and leads into a comfortable living room. The kitchen includes an open plan with tons of storage with custom hickory cabinetry. Modern stainless steel kitchen appliances include a commercial-size refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range, and microwave oven. The custom-built sunroom is the most used room in the home. The professionals at Beckley Insulation designed and added the sunroom in 2013.
THE SOLDIER SPRING
The farm is blessed with one of the greatest assets in life: great water! The Soldier Spring is located in a cove behind the house and on the northern end of the pasture. The Soldier Spring is completely fenced to prevent farm animals from accessing the area. According to the current stewards of the farm, The Soldier Spring has never gone dry. The spring head is encapsulated with a secure spring box, which feeds into a 600-gallon +/- reservoir tank. The spring overflow feeds the two farm ponds. The Soldier Spring water is regularly tested for purity and is excellent and potable. The spring supplies abundant water for the residence and the entire farm.
SPRING 2
Below the Soldier Spring in the ravine is an undeveloped spring. This could be expanded for a larger pond.
