For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Located on a hard-surfaced road and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this well-maintained hobby farm offers the perfect balance of charm, functionality, and equestrian amenities. The updated farmhouse blends original character with modern convenience. Step inside to find gorgeous hardwood floors, detailed woodwork, and a warm, inviting layout. The front sitting area, complete with a gas fireplace, offers flexible use and flows into the formal dining room and cozy kitchen. The kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a great view overlooking the deck and backyard. Through glass pocket doors, you'll find an oversized family room filled with natural light, recessed lighting, and another gas fireplace-an ideal spot for entertaining or relaxing with family. The main level also includes a full bathroom and first-floor laundry. Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms and another full bath. Outside, the 30x12 deck provides peaceful views of the open landscape, garden, and hot tub area, making it a great space to unwind. Horse lovers will appreciate the 48x72 barn, complete with power and water, four 10x12 box stalls, a grooming stall, a tack room, hay storage above, and an indoor riding arena around the stalls. A shaded paddock area with a lean-to gives your horses a comfortable retreat, and two fenced pastures provide approximately three acres of quality grazing. Additional outbuildings include a 25x40 garage with two sections-one side designed with pull-through doors, perfect for trailers or workshop use. There's also a charming 20x20 historic brick building near the road with two overhead doors, ideal for storage, parking, or creative space. This property is not only set up for horses but is also a great fit for anyone looking to enjoy rural living with plenty of functional space. This property has had many updates over the years and also comes with the perk of being on natural gas. With quick access to I-88, you get the peace and privacy of the country while staying conveniently connected to nearby towns and amenities.
