Tucked away in the Rochester School District, this one-of-a-kind property offers 20 acres of privacy, income potential, and wide-open views. Approximately 18 acres of productive tillable ground provide consistent residual income while still leaving plenty of space to enjoy country living.
Inside, the home's centerpiece is the stunning living room, featuring soaring wood ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or watching the sunset, the views stretch for miles in every direction.
Outside, you'll find a 50'x60' outbuilding perfect for equipment, hobbies, or additional storage, along with expansive green space surrounded by farmland. Properties that combine acreage, income-producing land, and the highly sought-after Rochester School District rarely become available.
