REAL ESTATE: Selling to the highest bidder is 65.7 acres of diversity with a two-story home and outbuildings. The home offers great character with great woodwork, large rooms, and an ideal country feel. On the main floor you find an oak kitchen, dining room, family room, living room, a full bath with handicap accessible shower, and a large, enclosed porch with laundry hook up. The second story houses 3 large bedrooms, a full bath, and a small kitchenette. The kitchenette could be remodeled to make an additional bedroom or expansion of the current bath. A few of the updates and amenities to the home include a new shingle roof, on demand water heater, replacement windows, propane heat, and newer water softener system. Overall, the structure of the home is solid with the ability to add your modern touches while preserving this great country charm.  

Outside, you will find a 70’x90’ metal shop building offering concrete floors, water, and electricity. This building has two heated rooms, one with a half bath, and 24’ hanger-style doors on each end. Used as a shop or equipment storage, this building will suit. There is also a 30’x60’ 3-sided pole building with lean-to addition perfect for livestock or horses. The buildings, setting, and acreage make this a perfect gentlemen’s farm.  

The land features 65.7 acres with a mixture of tillable land, woods, and the best natural deer habitat I have seen in quite some time. Currently, there are approximately 25 acres of open rolling tillable land with the ability to add more. Several acres that were once pasture have had deer and mother nature take over, however could be converted back to farm use. The balance of the farm is wooded with great character. Spend a little time walking this farm to discover why these natural funnels and wildlife habitat create the ultimate hunting and recreational paradise. This farm offers a great deal of upside potential and as good of investment opportunity as we will see this fall.  The farm will be sold in its entirety to the highest bidder with no reserves.
