The upper level consists of 2 rooms, one finished for a 4th bedroom and the other unfinished. The basement is unfinished but large.

The barn is horse-ready & recently had interior stalls & there is also a single-car detached garage (on skids) & a smaller shed that has been used for livestock as well. There is a lot of new fence on the property to fill all of your animal-loving needs...even the garden is fenced off so you can still have a summer crop!
