Accepting Back Up Offers Welcome to your private 5-acre retreat at 1956 Township Road 229, Van Buren, Ohio. This isn't just a home — it's a lifestyle. From the moment you turn down the private stone drive, surrounded by mature trees and rolling acreage, you'll understand why this property is truly one-of-a-kind. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 2,578 square feet of beautifully maintained living space, plus a fully finished 1,200 sq ft basement. Three bedrooms feature walk-in closets and private en-suite baths, all recently renovated with custom tiled showers. A spacious bonus room above the attached 2.5-car garage serves as the 5th bedroom — flexible enough to work as a guest suite or studio. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with heated tile floors, a large island, and two eat-in dining areas — perfect for everything from quiet mornings to family gatherings. Unwind in the sunroom with its wet bar and elegant glass cabinetry, or retreat downstairs to the custom-built home theater with built-in surround sound. Stay active in your private in-home gym with a 6-person custom sauna and full bath, then catch up on work in the basement office/craft room. The entire house is covered if the power would go out, the property also includes a on demand generac whole house generator system ran off of natural gas. Step outside and the magic continues. A serene half-acre pond — complete with three aerators, a windmill aerator, and a 30x12 ft deck with custom storage, partial metal-roofed shade, exterior lighting, and 120V power — is your personal slice of paradise. A charming koi pond adds another layer of tranquility to the grounds, and the 8-person hot tub (in perfect condition) is the ideal way to end any evening under the stars. The grounds also include a producing fruit orchard (4 apple, 2 pear, and 1 peach tree), a berry garden, and three 250 sq ft raised garden beds with a dedicated seating area. The outbuildings transform this property into something extraordinary: a finished 1,200 sq ft Morton building with epoxy floors, commercial stainless sink, on-demand hot water, natural gas furnace, commercial exhaust, finished attic, and 120/240V hookups. A 50x40 metal barn with tack room, two horse stalls, electric fencing, loft space, and oversized doors — easily configured as either a livestock barn or a horse stable to suit your needs. A 400 sq ft cedar-lined activity room ready to serve as a recreational lounge or commercial smokehouse kitchen, complete with natural gas fireplace, commercial sink, and butcher block countertops. A 20-car stone parking area and private stone road wrap the property. Location is the cherry on top — you're just minutes from Van Buren State Park, home to roughly 12 miles of bridle trails winding through beautiful beech and maple forest, plus the only dedicated equestrian campground in northwest Ohio. Riders here also enjoy miles of hiking trails, mountain biking, fishing, and lake access just down the road. With your own horse stable on-site, the lifestyle practically writes itself. The home is fully equipped with forced-air heating, a full water system with RO filtration sourced from the pond, PEX plumbing, and a Mulligan water system. Move-in ready and meticulously maintained — this is the kind of estate you settle into and never want to leave.
