While the hunting opportunities may not be readily apparent, dont overlook the potential for harvesting venison. 22+/- wooded acres are distributed throughout the farm, and with the large neighboring wooded tracts and agricultural fields on this property, deer and turkeys will feel right at home.

While the location and land make this a special place, the farmstead certainly adds to the appeal. The red dairy barn and granary are in remarkable repair and add a historic feel to the property as well as adding great storage. Additional storage is provided by a 36x48 pole building with doors on each end for easy access.

Last but certainly not least, the foursquare farmhouse is truly the jewel of the property. While it retains the classic charm of antique panel doors, millwork, doorknobs, wood floors and beadboard ceilings, it features many modern updates. These include insulated windows, updated fixtures, newer kitchen with solid service countertops, updated electric, newer HVAC, roof and siding. It is simply a comfortable blend of antique and modern.

The main floor features the primary living area. A large galley style kitchen includes a sit up bar and faces the living room, inviting easy conversation with the chef. The living room and sunroom flow together offering 2 sitting areas. A glance from the large sunroom windows will be met with a view that causes you to linger for more. Sharing this view is an enclosed front porch that is useable year-round. A spacious dining room is perfect for an intimate dinner for two or a large dinner party. Nearby, a 3/4 bath offers convenience while on the main floor. Rounding out the first floor, a back entry area is shared with the laundry which includes a laundry sink for easy cleanup.

The modern farmhouse vibe continues upstairs where you will find a large bathroom and 2 generous bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet. As with the lower level, the view from every window upstairs offers Driftless Area beauty. Set up your showing today, and dont miss another season on Homestead Lane! Taxes are estimated.
