This exceptional 40-acre parcel offers complete privacy and tranquility, featuring a cozy two-bedroom cabin built in 2022. Positioned in the center of the lot, the home is designed to maximize natural light and offers peaceful views from every window. The layout includes a primary bedroom on the main floor, a bright and cozy living area and a generous loft-style bedroom upstairs. The property is well-equipped for self-sufficiency, featuring an 1,800-gallon underground cistern and four 275-gallon supplemental water tanks. Two of the tanks were used to serve the garden using an electric pump system, while the remaining two are available for livestock, landscaping, or additional water storage. The garden has been maintained exclusively with organic practices and includes raised beds, perennials, and a full perimeter fence. Additionally, the property features a chicken coop equipped with eight nest boxes and an automatic solar door that opens to a protected run. The run has fencing extending three feet underground to prevent predators from digging. There are four sheds on the property, including a metal fuel storage shed, a powered workshop, a garden shed, and a general storage shed with power. Three of these are matching red barn style, contributing to the property's appealing atmosphere. For ease of access, the main road is maintained by the gas company, leaving the owner responsible only for the maintenance of the private driveway. If you have been looking for your dream homestead property, you have found it.
