REAL ESTATE: The Corrigan Farm features an ideal location, terrific setting, and condition that is second to none.  This 165.63-acre farm offers a good mix of tillable and wooded acreage with a homestead that will be hard to duplicate.  The farm includes approximately 90 acres of open tillable land with 50 wooded acres and the balance a mix of pasture, a great stocked pond, and the homesite.  The character and pride of ownership this farm displays are inspiring.  The farm will be offered in 3 parcels and in its entirety and will sell to the highest bidder with No Reserve.   If you are in the market for a great farm or looking for a life changing investment, this farm will be at the top of your list.

Parcel 1: One of the best “Gentlemen’s” farms that you will have the opportunity to buy.  Situated off the road overlooking a great pond this private setting couldn’t get any more ideal.  A total of 25 acres will be offered with parcel 1 including the home, outbuildings, pond, pasture, and tillable land.  Features of the main level of this extensively remodeled farmhouse include a newer kitchen, full bath, laundry room, dining room, living room, sitting room, and my favorite spot the sunroom overlooking the pond.  The upstairs offers 4 bedrooms, a full bath, and access to the floored attic.   Attached to the home is a great 2 car garage with living quarters or an efficiency apartment roughed in and ready for your finishing touches.  A few of the many updates include vinyl siding, replacement windows, geothermal heat and central air, updated electric, and much more.  You will be hard pressed to find a cleaner home with as much care as this one has to offer.  The outbuildings on the property include a 40’x80’ machinery shed with water and electric, a corn crib with lean-to, and a large pole building once used as a dairy facility.  This building offers good open space with concrete floors, water, and electric.  There is still a feed bunk and a few free stalls however this building would easily adapt to beef cattle, horses, equipment storage and a multitude of uses.  There are several acres of fenced pasture with the balance of this parcel currently used as tillable cropland.  If you are seeking your own piece of heaven in the country you owe it to yourself to look at this property. 

Parcel 2: 86.7 acres of desirable tillable land with predominately Bennington and Cardington soils.  Nearly all this parcel is tillable and offers gently rolling terrain for good drainage.  This parcel includes 1200’ of road frontage and would make an ideal addition to parcel 1 or most any farming operation.   

Parcel 3: 54 acres that will speak to the outdoorsman or nature lover.  We have included a 5-acre building site on County Road 700 with access to the back of this property where you will find your outdoor oasis.  This good young woods offers cut trails, hardwoods, natural funnels, and great wildlife habitat.  If nature and a tree stand is your preferred environment, then this parcel deserves your attention.
