Upon entering the property, one is immediately struck by the vast expanses of lush greenery that extend out into the pastures. This property is a multi-level, fully functioning food forest with fantastic accommodations. This property has been raising beef on its improved grasses and five ponds which is all cross fenced for rotational grazing. With an average of 42 inches of rain every year, drought here is a two-month dry spell and the ponds have never gone dry. The cattle working facilities are under roof with lighting, water, and a misting system. There are multiple corrals for feeding and separating your herd just outside the working facility, including a covered area for shelter for your animals in inclement weather. There are access points to the corrals from two different pastures. It has also been producing chickens and eggs in its 480sf predator proof chicken coop complete with electric, LED lighting, frost free water spigot, feed storage, and indoor and outdoor runs under metal roof. The two spaces are joined by an automatic door and the interior portion has a temperature-controlled exhaust fan. The garden, featuring organic composted soil, can generate a substantial yield. This production suffices to feed an entire family, share with relatives and friends, and preserve through pressure canning for a couple of years. There is also a fruit orchard, a hügelkultur garden, and a separate composting area. All of the grow areas are irrigated with 13 spigots and two cutoffs from the main water line with more than sufficient water pressure. For the hunting enthusiast, this property produces trophy bucks every year. The plentiful deer, bobcat, coyote, and hog population will never disappoint. If you enjoy simply watching wildlife, this property will be a feast for your eyes. There are Eastern Turkey, hummingbirds, red headed woodpeckers, various hawks and kites, geese, ducks, and Bald Eagles as well. The 6400-square-foot barn, constructed in 2024, is equipped with electric power and LED lighting, and includes a 2400sf concrete pad in part of the structure. Currently, it is used for storing hay and equipment. There is an older "herringbone 8" dairy barn on the property. The milk parlor has been converted into a living space complete with a kitchen, full bath, and laundry room. The back of the barn is an enclosed storage/workshop area with an additional outside 4300sf concrete pad for working on or parking your equipment. The residence is a two-story house with numerous windows providing expansive views of the picturesque pastures, livestock, and wildlife. Upon entering, one will find warm colored acacia wood floors and a spacious living and dining area that seamlessly connects to the kitchen, creating an optimal space for entertaining guests.

The walls and ceilings in the living room are adorned with wood paneling, contributing to a clean and contemporary farmhouse aesthetic. The area offers ample space for seating, conversation, and a games table. As you move to the kitchen, the clean look of the wood-lined walls and ceiling are continued and accented by the real wood beams in the cathedral ceiling. There is an impressive amount of counter space around the perimeter as well as the huge island in the center topped with super easy maintenance quartz. The space offers plenty of room for visiting or food preparation. There is generous storage in the cabinets and drawers as well as display space with glass front cabinets. There are two oversized sinks and a Viking professional series 5, dual fuel, 60" range which is nestled in a brick alcove and topped by a commercial vent-a-hood. There is a menu planning area as well. The pantry is large enough to store your entire year's canning with refrigerator and ice machine hook-ups. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It is a perfect retreat for children and guests. The residence is equipped with high-speed fiber optic cable. It has proven to be consistently reliable, making it ideal for remote work and streaming. If you can dream it, this property has likely been set up to provide it.
