Adjacent to the barn is tranquil pond and an abundance of flowering plants that create a vibrant landscape in the spring and summer months. Additional features include a detached 2 car garage and a well water with a 300 gallon holding tank and softening system. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living with modern comforts and a convenient location. This home and property has been loved by its owners for over 40 years, as well as the horses who were kept, for over 30!
