    Enjoy this beautiful acreage property with a well-maintained farmhouse, multiple outbuildings, and hobby farm amenities on 16.81 acres. Endless possibilities and quiet privacy of country living! Offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, and several updates completed since 2021, this home and property are ready for the next owner to add personal touches and continue building equity. A covered front porch and newly rebuilt (2025) front deck welcome you, while inside you'll find a character-filled structure with natural woodwork throughout, wood ceilings in the living and dining rooms, abundant windows, and hardwood flooring in the kitchen, dining room, hallways, and upper-level hallway. The main level features a walk-through kitchen, dining room, and living room, while all three bedrooms and the full bathroom are on the upper level. One bedroom offers double closets for additional storage. Numerous improvements have been completed in recent years, including an increase to bedroom sizes upstairs by repositioning a non-load-bearing wall, adding insulation and sheetrock, installing new electrical circuits in both bedrooms, and adding interconnected smoke combination alarms (2023). Additional updates include a new propane forced-air furnace, central air conditioning, and smart thermostat (2023), new well pressure tank and water softener/filtration system (2021), buried electrical service from the yard pole to the home with a new 200-amp electrical panel (2021), horse stalls added to the barn (2023), and cleaned and repaired house gutters (2025). The property includes a detached garage / steel pole building, lean-to area, arena, and electric-fenced area (currently not active). The pasture grass has been well maintained and mowed to rehabilitate overgrowth. A covered rear porch and deck provide additional space to relax and enjoy the acreage. Whether you're looking for a hobby horse farm, acreage property, or a home with room for future improvements, this property offers a unique opportunity! Conveniently located close to town, schools, parks, lakes, shopping, entertainment, and other local amenities. One-year home warranty included for peace-of-mind.
