Imagine the peace you will find when you step onto this one-of-a-kind farm located in Northern Perry County. This farm is located at the end of a quiet private road and is only shared with a couple of neighbors. As you approach the property the first thing you will see is the large 30 x 90 pole building, this building is in good condition and would be great for storage of farm equipment and or animals. The building has multiple doors, water and power. Moving down the driveway, you pass a carport with a concrete pad floor offering plenty of parking and turnaround space before coming to a home on your left. This old home place has a rich history to the area. As told by the owners and locals, the home was once the US Post Office, the area known as Sassafras in the early 1900's. You can almost envision the horse-drawn wagons being pulled down the path along the side. Today the homes condition is run down and used for storage but with some care and renovations could be put back in living order. One neat feature, behind the home is a custom build in ground cooker/smoker capable of handling hundreds of pounds of meat at as time. Finally, moving to the end of the driveway, you come to what is the star of the show, the main home overlooking a breathtaking view of your very own 3/4 of an acre pond. Be not fooled this pond is not some frog hole, its is nearly 40 feet deep and loaded with bass, catfish and bluegill. With a concrete sidewalk to the dock, you may never want to leave. The home was built in 2013 and is moving in ready. It is comprised of 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a nice living space and sunroom. With an oversized laundry room, pantry, and 2 storage rooms, storage space is plentiful.Finally something everyone can appreciate is a huge oversized garage with high ceilings. If all thats not enough the home was designed with the vision of adding on someday, floor joists are in the ceiling that could be utilized with removal of the roof to go up another level if desired. Getting back outside, here we have approx. 10 acres of tillable that is currently farmed.Depending on your vision this could be turned into off the chart bedding for wildlife. The property boasts roughly 36 acres of prime timber ground with several pockets of mid-stage white oak, poplar, maple, and hickory blended in with thick young saplings and vegetation. There are several seasonal creeks with year round flowing ones as well. Lets not forget this farm is backing up to 136 acres of Ferdinand State Forest in an area that sees very low hunting pressure. Morel mushrooms are plentiful in the spring along with a well establish turkey population. Deer hunting on the farm has produced recored Boone and Crocket books entries and never disappoints year after year. This is truly a hard find that checks all the boxes for a country lifestyle of living.
