This beautiful homestead is ideal for anyone wanting to live the off-grid lifestyle. The home was built in 2019 and measures 1,200 sq ft., featuring one large, oversized bedroom, a generously sized living room, and a kitchen. Attached is a 600 sq. ft. garage area, which would provide room for expansion. This home is a perfect candidate for modernization. County water is run to the corner of the home, and power is available at the end of the driveway. Inside the garage area, a storage room is already framed, which would be perfect for a bathroom, and it would also be an ideal spot to bring in a septic line. Large access in the garage to the trusses and framing would make it easier to drop electric wires down to install power in the home. This area is also well-insulated with 10 or more inches of batt-type insulation. Outside, there is a brand new barn, perfect for horses, cows, or any other farm animals. The upper level of the barn has a large area for hay storage. Several fenced paddock areas are available for the animals, one of which features a lean-to for shelter from the weather. This spot also has a hand-water hydrant. Moving onto the wooded acreage, you will find a nice mid-sized to large diameter treed forest. From the home, it's a short downhill walk to the beginning of the woodland. Once in the timber, you will see a seasonal creek bottom drainage, nice, wide, and funneling into the tillable fields to the west. The terrain then moves uphill, gaining about 80 feet in elevation to a flat top ridge. This area is where the honey hole for deer hunting lies. The current owner has two deer stands here and gets nice, mature bucks, along with bagging a big tom turkey every year. This is a perfectly well-balanced farm property that everyone will enjoy.
