Overview

Owned and occupied by a single family since its original construction in 1897, this 20-acre homestead has been the beneficiary of excellent stewardship, and has been presided over with love, respect, and with great attention to detail. These grounds have many stories to tell, and many more yet to be written by the next caretaker of this formidable estate. The 3,820 sqft solid brick farmhouse sits in the middle of the property, perched upon a hill that overlooks a breathtaking combination of green pasture, 10 acres of tillable land, a meandering creek passing through, and a perimeter that is dotted...
with trees for an added layer of privacy. The home is in excellent condition and provides plenty of space for everyone. The first floor is sprawling and includes a large eat-in kitchen, a dining room, a formal living room, a cozy den, a library, a half bath with laundry, and a massive sunroom with a stone floor, a Harman wood stove, and windows on all sides looking out upon expansive views and scenery. All rooms on the first floor have custom built-in shelving and cabinetry. The second floor provides five (5) bedrooms, one (1) full bathroom, and lots more built-ins and closet space. The basement is clean, sturdy, and has never had any water or foundation issues. The four-car garage at the front of the property is 30x45 (1,350 sqft) and has a stone foundation that once held the wooden barn. The barn has since been moved behind the house, and is 30x45 with two floors (2,700 sqft). The corn crib is 32x28 and also has two floors (1,792 sqft). The equipment shop/pole barn is 40x80 (3,200 sqft) and can house a large collection of vehicles and equipment. The white building at the front of the property has been used primarily as a printing shop and is approximately 2,200 sqft. All structures have their own electric. The zoning is split into two sections, one being Rural Residential (southern portion, structures and pasture) and the other being Agricultural (northern portion, cornfield). The property is registered Clean and Green for a preferential tax assessment. It is extremely rare to find a property of this age, size and scope, that is still very solid throughout and in such terrific condition. Seize your moment!
