Watch the morning light settle over the Dutch Corner countryside as this 33-acre farm comes to life. The 2,073 sq. ft. farmhouse features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, an updated kitchen with granite countertops, and efficient geothermal heating and cooling. A covered front porch overlooks a spring-fed pond and a 16' x 20' two-story log springhouse. An inviting sunroom leads to a saltwater pool—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The property is well equipped for a variety of uses, highlighted by a heated 30' x 45' garage with in-law quarters and a full bath. The 40' x 60' bank barn offers four stalls and a 24' x 36' lean-to for additional storage. Additional outbuildings include a 15' x 22' tack room, an 8' x 12' greenhouse, and a 14' x 20' storage shed. Approximately 20 acres of open land and 10 acres of woods are complemented by a year-round stream (Oppenheimer Run) flowing through the pasture. Well suited for a gentleman farm, equestrian use, or recreational retreat, this Bedford County property offers a quiet country homestead in a truly picturesque setting.
