Originally a 3-bedroom farmhouse, this home was redesigned into a spacious 2-bedroom modern farmhouse with handcrafted finishes throughout. Hickory floors, barn doors, knotty pine, tin accents, and custom details create a warm, move-in ready retreat full of character. Set on 12 private acres, this hobby farm-ready property features a large red barn, chicken barn, tractor shed, garages, fenced areas, hay ground, fruit trees, berries, and room for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, gardens, and more. Recent updates include a new well (2025), septic mound system, forced air heat, central air, and wood-burning stove. Peaceful country living with modern comfort and endless possibilities.
