What's special
This former working family farm is now available for you to come in, take the reins and breathe new life into it. Built in the late 1950's, the one owner family home has been diligently cared for, but one would say is now in need of interior cosmetic updates. The home is solid, sturdy and level with original hardwood floors throughout. With a large eat in kitchen, spacious living room and four roomy bedrooms you'll find plenty of living area for whatever your family needs might be. The 20+ acers of rolling fields and wooded area provide for just about any outside activity you can think of, from cookouts to hunting. The gazebo, though in need of attention, would be a wonderful outdoor space to restore and take advantage of over the spring and summer months. In the yard and in the oversize barn, you will find treasures of days gone by, cow bells and such; solid and sturdy it is ready to be a barn again, or even turn turned over into a workshop. The possibilities are there! Currently the back acreage is leased to a local farmer for a corn crop. That crop will be maintained over the summer and harvested in the fall. Potential buyers will be asked to allow him to bring the crop to fruition through the fall of 2024. PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD AS IS.
