On the property, the main living area is a 2 bed-2 bath farmhouse, with well water, septic, recently replaced central AC, and standard appliances all included. The main bedroom has its own full bathroom, two sinks and a walk in closet. A sliding glass door opens up to a private back deck where magnificent sunsets are a regular occurrence. A second bedroom is suitable for use as an office, guest room, or a child's room, with another full bathroom adjacent. The main living area and TV room connects to the dining room and open kitchen, with a mudroom leading to the front entrance. Perhaps the most attractive feature is the sunroom, next to the living room, which has a wood burning stove and french doors that open into a covered porch - a great space for entertaining and enjoyment of all four seasons. Adjacent to the kitchen is a concrete outdoor relaxation space with its own fireplace and chimney for further enjoyment. A finished and climate controlled auxiliary building provides a suitable space for a home office, storage, or a room for reading and relaxation. This detached structure also has a garden-facing garage with its own wood stove and work bench - a great spot for creative pursuits of all kinds. An overhang in front of the garage hosts the lawn mower and gardening tools for the back yard, which hosts a massive fenced-in garden and two extremely sturdy chicken coops, capable of hosting up to 40+ chickens or guinea fowl, and even more quail. Uphill from the garden area are an orchard and barn full of gardening and agricultural equipment. The lower field features a wide open space with an antique hay rake, a hidden campsite, and a full view of the night sky for bathing in moonlight or watching meteor showers. Every July, the fireflys put on a nightly show that is a life-changing experience. The owners have put great care into this home and are seeking a tenant who will be a good steward to both the structures and the land.
