This lovely 4-bedroom, 1 bath home has hardwood floors, 9' ceilings in the living areas, and all but 1 window has been replaced with tilt-in windows or sliding windows. The kitchen tilt-in windows provide lots of fresh air and sunshine. A large, hand-crafted kitchen sink table with a copper sink is perfect for cleaning fresh garden produce. A spacious room in the center of the home is used for a pantry. A woodburning stove in the dining room can heat the house all though there is a gas furnace and central air conditioning. The laundry room has gas hookup for the dryer. The propane tank is owned by the homeowner and will pass to the new owner (Blue Flame is the gas provider). A well for watering gardens and animals is available but there is also public water and a septic system. Outside is a carport, a barn with a tack room, a paddock including a building for sheltering animals plus a pond. Additionally, a 14'x10' building is on the property with power, running water, a kitchenette, a bathroom, loft bedrooms, and solar panels on the roof. This 2-acre farm is perfect for the hobby farmer, the individual who wants to embrace some of the naturalistic ways with comforts as well, or one who simply wants privacy and being one with nature. This could be the perfect home for you!
