Property has an 80 x 33 barn w/4+stalls, workshop and ginormous 2nd floor with a separate office area, 20 x 40 garden shed (a/k/a "she shed") that would even make Joanna Gaines swoon - complete with heat, electric, water and wi-fi, a chicken coop (currently being used as a playhouse), multiple patios, a small pond, riding arena (horses welcomed!), mature trees and a large garden area. Home and grounds have been very well maintained by its current owners.
