About This Home
Imagine waking up each day to the peaceful beauty of 5 private acres where nature, space, and opportunity come together. This is a fixer-upper property that has been vacant for some time and will require updates and repairs, making it best suited for cash or conventional buyers. This special property offers the perfect setting for those dreaming of a homestead, horse property, or a quiet country retreat, while still remaining conveniently central to major cities for work, travel, and everyday amenities. The land itself is a rare find -- a beautiful blend of open pasture and wooded privacy that creates endless possibilities. Whether you envision horses grazing, farm animals roaming, gardens growing, or simply enjoying wide open space, this property provides the ideal foundation. The 4-stall barn with existing fencing is ready for horses or livestock, making it easy to step into the rural lifestyle you've been dreaming about. A picturesque pond enhances the property's natural beauty and offers a serene place to relax, fish, or watch wildlife. Adding even more charm, the property also features a koi pond with all of the equipment already in place, ready to be restored into a stunning water garden and tranquil outdoor centerpiece. Inside, the spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with over 3,100 square feet offers an incredible opportunity for buyers to bring their vision to life and create the home they've always wanted. With generous living spaces, a fireplace, wood-burning stove, and flexible rooms for an office or hobby space, the home provides a strong foundation ready to be refreshed, renovated, and personalized. A versatile workshop/outbuilding overlooking the pond features a beautiful hand-carved spiral oak staircase, with insulation and wiring already started -- making it an ideal space to finish as a guest retreat, rental opportunity, studio, or creative workspace. With its usable land, water features, horse-ready barn, and a home ready to be reimagined, this property offers the rare chance to create a lifestyle that blends privacy, nature, and convenience to nearby cities. Here, the possibilities are as wide open as the land itself.
