Offered for the first time, this one-owner property is a rare opportunity to own 20 picturesque acres of privacy, potential, and natural beauty. The land consists of approximately 12 tillable acres and 8 acres of timber, complemented by a private, stocked pond featuring crappie, bass, bluegill, and stunning koi—creating a peaceful setting you will appreciate year-round.
A long, private driveway leads you to the 3-bedroom, 1-bath home, perfectly positioned to overlook the pond. Inside, the bedrooms feature original hardwood floors, and the living room offers tranquil water views along with a wood-burning fireplace, providing warmth and charm. The home also includes a spacious family room, and hardwood flooring may be found beneath the existing carpet.
The unfinished basement offers endless possibilities for future expansion, storage, or additional living space. Additional features include a one-car attached garage and an impressive 1,800 sq ft barn, ideal for equipment, hobbies, livestock, or workshop use.
With vision and a little love, this property has the potential to become a truly exceptional retreat, hobby farm, or forever home. A rare combination of acreage, privacy, and opportunity—this is where dreams can take shape.
