Where am I? I describe this as a hobby farm, country villa, retreat, homestead, tranquil space, Down To Earth Clean Living. That's how you will feel too. This is a rare 23 acre property, on the West Branch of the Chocolay River, Spring fed pond about 5-6 feet deep, and endless possibilities. Do you want animals, farm, bees, fish, creative art space, gardens? Study nature by your pond. Turtles, minnows and ribbit -frogs. The extra jam session space could be art & craft, taxidermy, studio, kennels etc. It will speak to your vision. This is a country home with a beautiful addition to spend family time together. There is the attached garage, but also the huge pole building, jam session building, storage building. Lots of space. Four bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, additional family room in basement too. The owners have completed already some big improvements: New mound system in 2021 (not cheap), New installed backup 18 KW Generac generator in 2021, laid underground power lines, electrified outer barn, multiple outlets to woodshed, exterior post near river, numerous interior electric updates (not cheap), replaced huge living room windows (4) and two in the he/she shed space. Replaced wood burning stove in the he/she shed. Yes, it's heated! FUN. There's a sauna too. Improved home insulation professionally installed, Tower roof replaced and insulated professionally. Some new appliances-appliances stay with sale of home. This is a desirable location and piece of land! This is hard to find! Not far from town, has the acreage, easy good roads, space and river & pond. Many spaces for potting shed areas or creative space. Maybe you need to park your equipment, house your hunting gear and toys. Schedule your showing and get the update sheet. It's beautiful. There will always be things to do wherever you lay your hat. But not everyone will be able to lay their hat here! Let's get you here.
