The farmhouse, originally a log cabin built in mid 1850's & expanded in 1913, is now wrapped in vinyl siding yet still showcases its historic character. Inside-4 bd/2 ba, hardwood floors, exposed logs, warm wood interior, & a welcoming front porch. While the house definitely needs work & updates, it provides plenty of potential. Whether a working farm, a private retreat, or making it your forever country home, the possibilites are endless Looking for a Small Self-Sustaining Farm with Charm, History, and Potential? Tucked away in the rolling hills of the countryside, this 29.35-acre farmstead offers a rare opportunity to own a property that balances usable land, natural beauty, and deep historic roots. The Land
The acreage is thoughtfully divided, giving you flexibility right from the start. Roughly 17 acres of open pasture provide space for livestock, hay production, or large-scale gardening. The remaining 12+ acres of woodland offer privacy, shade, and a rich habitat for wildlife. This mix of open and wooded land is ideal for anyone who wants to balance productivity with recreation. One of the most unique assets of the property is its fresh water spring, complete with a spring house. This natural, reliable water source sets the property apart and recalls the self-sufficiency of the original homesteaders. For those looking to raise animals or simply enjoy cool, clear water on their land, the spring is a treasured feature. Outbuildings and Farm Structures
The farm comes well equipped with multiple outbuildings designed to support agricultural life. A barn with a milking parlor and milk storage house remain from its days as a working dairy operation. Several chicken coops make raising poultry easy, and a number of additional storage sheds are on site for tools, feed, equipment, or workshop use. Even if you don't plan to operate a full-scale farm, these structures offer countless possibilities: space for hobby farming, goats or sheep, gardening supplies, or even creative uses like studios or small-scale business operations. The Farmhouse
The heart of the property is the farmhouse, which began as a log cabin in the mid-1850s and was later expanded in 1913. Wrapped in low-maintenance vinyl siding today, the home still retains the unmistakable character of its historic roots. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms and two full baths, offering plenty of room for family, guests, or home offices. Several rooms showcase original exposed log walls, hardwood floors, and warm wood-paneled ceilings and walls that reflect the craftsmanship of earlier generations. The home's layout is practical yet inviting, with multiple living areas that can be customized to suit modern life. A welcoming front porch stretches across the façade, perfect for rocking chairs and sunsets, while a large back deck overlooks the wooded acreage, offering a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings. While the home seems solid, it does need remodeling & repairs. Buyers can bring their own vision, whether restoring historic details, adding modern amenities, or blending bothto create a one-of-a-kind farmhouse that fits today's lifestyle. A Rich History
This property carries with it the echoes of generations past. Once a thriving dairy farm, it supported multiple families and stood as a cornerstone of the local agricultural community. Owning land with this kind of story is more than just acquiring real estateit's stepping into a living legacy of self-reliance, hard work, and connection to the land. The Lifestyle
Beyond the tangible features, what this property truly offers is a way of life. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds, stepping outside to gather fresh eggs from the coop, or tending to a garden that provides your family's vegetables. Picture evenings spent on the porch, watching the sun set over rolling fields, or hikes through your own wooded acres where wildlife still roams free. For those seeking privacy, the acreage provides plenty of breathing room without being isolated. For those looking at small-scale farming or homesteading, the infrastructure is already in place. And for those simply yearning for a country retreat, the natural beauty of the property offers peace and inspiration every day. Endless Possibilities
The beauty of this farm is its versatility. It could be:
" Restored into a working family farm with livestock and crops.
" Transformed into a private country retreat, with woodland trails, gardens, and a quiet home base.
" Preserved as a historic homestead, honoring its 19th-century roots while modernizing for comfort.
" Or simply enjoyed as a forever home in the country, with space for hobbies, family, and future dreams. With nearly 30 acres, multiple outbuildings, a historic home, and natural resources like the spring, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
