Rarely does a property of this caliber become available. This historic 1860s farmhouse is set on 18.68 scenic acres, offering a remarkable blend of preserved character, space, and privacy. The home features 9’ ceilings, 8” baseboards, and two wood-burning fireplaces, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere throughout.
The oversized kitchen showcases brick flooring and beamed ceilings, with ample room for a dining table—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A knotty pine office adds charm and functionality, while the four-season room overlooks the south end of the property, providing peaceful views year-round.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath. Updated windows with a lifetime warranty add modern efficiency while maintaining the home’s historic integrity.
The exterior is equally impressive, featuring a private, stocked one-acre pond, multiple outbuildings, and a three-car garage. A covered front porch with an approximate 20’ height offers a striking first impression and a perfect place to enjoy the surrounding landscape.
This is a truly unique opportunity to own a historic farmhouse with expansive acreage, exceptional features, and enduring appeal. Just minutes from the the Highway 5 bypass makes for an easy commute!
