** We'll pay 2% commission to a buyer's agent** Ultimate privacy with an easy commute: when you come home to this modern-day farmhouse, you will never want to leave. In an unsurpassed rural setting, this Dearborn county home was built in 1895, and has been added onto over the years. This recently-updated, rambling country home has 5+ bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a gourmet kitchen, office space, flex space, guest room, and more with over 4100 sq ft. The home is tastefully trimmed out in locally milled ash, as well as posts and beams salvaged from outbuildings removed from the property. The newer addition has stained concrete floors and radiant floor heating. A new gas furnace and A/C unit was installed in 2017, and the home is also heated by a soapstone woodstove, and an on-demand gas heating stove. The Andersen windows bring in lots of light and the beauty of the outdoors with not a neighbor in sight. Unlike many older homes, this one has storage everywhere. You can take in beautiful views of Laughery Valley from the front porch or most any room in the house. There are always birds at the feeders and abundant wildlife every day of the year. Many envy the easy deer hunting we enjoy in season. This is an ideal place to raise children, with 62 wooded acres providing ample opportunities to engage with nature, walk in the woods, sled in the snow, play in the creek, raise animals, garden, and learn about the local flora and fauna. The massive century heritage barn is serviceable for a variety of activities including raising animals, woodworking in the shop area, or storing more things than a person could ever use. There is some grazing area for livestock on the fields that are currently used for hay. KITCHEN The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home. It has ample maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a huge butcher block island, and tons of pantry and storage space. There is also a half bath, a breakfast area, and a home office nook. From the sink you can look out at the stream and goldfish pond beyond the cistern-patio. The large cistern is plumbed to an outside spigot for watering the large, prolific garden. LIVING and DINING ROOMS A beautiful and functional Heritage Soapstone woodstove is the centerpiece of the Living room, which is connected to a sunroom for wintering over tender perennials. FAMILY ROOM ADDITION This large gathering place is ideal for get-togethers, has room for a pool table, exercise equipment, etc. It has a built-in locally-milled ash media center, radiant floor heating, and lots of south-facing Andersen wood windows for harvesting the warmth of the sun on winter days. It also features stained concrete floors and a beautiful, on-demand, Avalon Tree of Life gas heating stove. It is also is the location of the guest room, which takes advantage of an almost en suite full bathroom, and a large storage room. MASTER BEDROOM A welcoming retreat, the master bedroom area was designed with windows facing every direction, and feels like a treehouse hideaway. The large en suite bathroom has a separate over-sized shower stall and a jetted tub. An antique sideboard serves as the vanity. It has a large dressing area with extra storage. OTHER BEDROOMS Down the hall from the Master, and beyond the study area, are three more large bedrooms and a full bath. These are in the finished attic space of the original house, and over an early addition. The newer stairwell, and the original set of stairs service this part of the house. The guest room could easily be converted into a first-floor master suite.
