Major mechanical systems reflect the quality and care invested in the property, including two forced-air furnaces, two central air conditioning systems, a concrete block foundation, and dual sump pumps. Combined with the impressive 1994-built three-car garage, the home offers outstanding bones and endless potential for a new owner to add their own modern updates and personal touches. The property's extensive outbuilding package provides exceptional versatility. Improvements include a 1,200-square-foot barn with hay loft, a 2,520-square-foot Quonset building, granary, lean-to, and poultry building. These structures offer countless possibilities for storage, livestock, hobby farming, retail ventures, workshop space, or even a boutique event venue. The grounds have previously hosted beautiful weddings, featuring a charming wooden arbor nestled near the ravine that remains today. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife and exceptional deer and turkey hunting opportunities right on the property, making this a true recreational retreat as well as a potential business opportunity. Whether you're seeking a hobby farm, hunting retreat, event venue, or simply a peaceful country estate to build your own legacy, this one-of-a-kind property offers possibilities rarely found on the market. Please note: This offering includes 17.63 acres encompassing the homestead, outbuildings, and the scenic wooded ravine.
