Unique opportunity for development or multi-generational living! Tucked away at the end of a quiet road, you’ll experience the ultimate privacy and seclusion with nothing but nature surrounding you. Comprised of 3 lots on 9.12 acres, both building lots are fully permitted with Lot 1 offering 1.39 acres and a 400 amp electrical service on-site and Lot 4 sitting on a sprawling 5.43 open and level acres. Lot 3 holds the existing 1860s farmhouse on 2.3 acres, fully updated to blend timeless appeal with modern comforts. The welcoming exterior greets you with mature maple and locust trees along with red cedar siding accents. Through the covered porch you enter the heart of the home, the beautiful eat-in kitchen, complete with a charming farmhouse sink, rustic wood ceiling and cozy wood stove. With 5 bedrooms, including one on the first floor, there’s ample space for family and guests and you’ll enjoy the convenience of the main level bath and combined pantry/laundry room off the kitchen. The former garage has been transformed into a versatile bonus area, perfect for a workshop or hobby room. Outside, the chicken coop is attached to a garden shed and a lean-to off the back of the house is ideal for wood and equipment storage or turn it into a covered patio space. Easy access to groceries, recreational trails and I-89. Whether you dream of creating a family compound, embarking on a development project, or are simply looking for small-town country living, this property has it all!
