Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1918
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

A great opportunity to own your piece of the American dream. 117 acres of mostly Class a soils just north of Sandwich. With an average production index of 139.4 which includes the building site parcel. Without that site the PI # is 140.65. Primary soil types include Flanagan silt loam, Catlin silt loam, and Elpaso silty clay loam. longest rows are .85 of a mile great for farming! Comes with the original 1918 beautiful 4 bedroom farmhouse, with the all the farm buildings. Includes a Generac back up generator system. Roofs on both of the homes around 3 years old. Which includes the original 2 story dairy barn, which does need a roof. Plus 2 storage sheds/shops. Another 2 story barn in great shape, and chicken house, silo and corn crib. And another 2 bedroom home built around 1918 also. There are so many options with this property. Farm this great piece of land, and rent the homes out. Or live in this stunning home with its original woodwork, hardwood floors, walk up 3 rd. floor. And use the second home for family or friends or additional rental income. And then rent the farmland for even more income. Great access on W Sandwich Rd, just a couple of miles north of the City of Sandwich. This farm has not been on the market since the 1950's and would make a great addition to any farm operation.
