This ranch-style home with attached in-law apartment is spacious and ready for move-in. Home has 4 large bedrooms and 2 baths; in-law has additional bedroom, living room, kitchen, parlor and one and a half baths! Two separate entrances as well. Property is settled off the road, abutting conservation land, with trails for hiking or riding, ponds for sitting and having a cup of coffee watching the view, and even an above-ground pool for those hot summer days. Still want more? We've got you covered, because just a short distance from the house, there's a fabulous 10-stall barn (new roof!) with two tack rooms, a huge hay loft (approx. 1000 bales) for storage and even a tack up area with frost-free pump. Perfect space for animals, toys or whatever else you need! Just behind the barn is an arena, but you're going to want to get out on those trails too!
