Why choose between acreage and lake life when you can have both? Nestled on 12 beautiful acres, this updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath modern farmhouse offers the perfect blend of country living and lake life. Spend your mornings on the deck, summers in the orchard, afternoons on Lake Amelia, and evenings around the patio. With deeded access to nearly 3 acres and 365 feet of level, sandy shoreline, the lake is always just steps away.
Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout create a bright, inviting space, while the main-floor primary with private en suite bath and main-floor laundry provide everyday convenience. The original home was completely remodeled in 2004, with an addition added to create the spacious home you see today.
The owners have continuously improved the property with long-term ownership in mind. Recent updates include a new septic system, reverse osmosis water system, metal roof, LP SmartSide siding, decking, and railings. See improvement list for additional updates.
Outdoor living shines with nearly 1,200 square feet of entertaining space, while the heated and insulated 36x36 shop with office space, attached 24x30 garage, and additional shed provide room for projects, equipment, and toys.
Dreaming of a hobby farm or homestead? The property features an apple orchard with more than 50 trees including Honeycrisp, Zestar, Sweet 16, and Haralson, along with a chicken coop, pasture fencing, high-tensile fencing, and plenty of room for gardens and animals.
The last 25 years this home was loved and was meant to be a forever home but a rare opportunity has opened the door for someone new! Acreage, lake access, a beautiful farmhouse, impressive outbuildings, and homesteading potential rarely come together in one package. From farm to table and lake to home, this is more than a property—it's a lifestyle.
