Welcome to your own piece of country living! Set on 4.28 acres, this unique property offers a rare combination of historic character, equestrian amenities, and room to enjoy the rural lifestyle—all while being just minutes from everyday conveniences. The 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home was built in 1870 and offers the charm and character of a home with a story to tell. For the horse enthusiast, this property is truly something special. The grounds include a unique indoor riding arena, providing a place to ride, train, or work with horses regardless of the weather. The barn features multiple stalls, a paddock area, and hayloft, offering plenty of space for horses, equipment, and feed. A separate workshop adds even more versatility and includes two additional stalls. Previously operated as a horse training and riding lesson facility, the property is already equipped for equestrian use and offers tremendous potential for someone looking to continue that tradition—or create their own private horse property. But horses aren't the only possibility. With 4.28 acres, a pasture that is fenced and cross-fences, and existing outbuildings, this property could also become a fantastic hobby farm. Imagine a few horses, goats, chickens, a garden, or other small-farm pursuits—all with room to enjoy the space and make the property your own. Whether you're looking for an equestrian property, a hobby farm, a place to pursue your passion for animals, or simply more room to spread out, the possibilities are plentiful. And while you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of country living, shopping, dining, schools, and other amenities are just minutes away. Historic charm, functional equestrian facilities, acreage, and a convenient location make this a property that truly stands apart. If you've been looking for a place where country living, animals, and opportunity come together, this one deserves a look! This property is sold AS IS.
