Madison County Farm - Restored 1917 Farmhouse with Barn and Spring-Fed Pond A Home That's Already Done the Work For You Tucked into a quiet, under-developed pocket of Madison County, this property offers the kind of privacy that's getting harder to find - without sacrificing convenience. The centerpiece is a beautifully renovated farmhouse built in 1917, carrying all the character of a century-old home with none of the deferred maintenance. Recent renovations include: New HVAC system All-new plumbing Updated electrical New hot water heater Fully renovated bathroom Fully renovated kitchen Original wood floors, refinished Freshly painted interior throughout New ceiling fans and light fixtures The kitchen has a view of the pond and opens through French doors. A very large deck was also added, overlooking both the pond and the fields. Barn Built for Real Use The property's barn has also been renovated with power and water, making it genuinely functional - not just for storage. It's wired with its own breaker box and 240V service, and each lean-to is equipped with a 30A RV outlet, ready for guests, equipment, or extra living space. The barn includes multiple stalls, a large hay loft, and an attached livestock corral. A smaller lean-to on the back side of the barn provides covered space for smaller equipment. A Spring-Fed Pond, Year-Round The pond on this property is spring-fed and never runs dry - even better, it's well-stocked with fish and draws seasonal aquatic birds throughout the year. Come winter, ducks move in, giving you duck hunting right in your own backyard. The pond has good access and includes a floating dock. Gardens, Groves, and Growing Space This is a property for anyone who loves to grow things: Developed garden space with irrigation already in place and a working greenhouse Perennial plantings, including several varieties of cannas and 7 different types of bananas, including some rare varieties A dedicated palm tree garden, featuring both native palms and a rare, highly desirable intergeneric hybrid Mature fruit trees - peach, fig, apple, pear, and blueberry, already established and producing Native wildlife-supporting plants - plum, persimmon, and blackberry, ideal for attracting deer, birds, and other wildlife Fenced Yard & Animal Pen The house is set within a fenced backyard, with a larger gated pen - the "goat pen" - attached to it. The gate between the two is typically left open, so dogs and goats roam freely together across the combined space. This fenced area totals .63 acres and includes two oak trees over 100 years old. Adjacent to the gardens is a separate, dedicated 1,100 SF pen with its own gate, previously used as a chicken pen. A roadside fence with a 12 ft gate was also added, framing the entrance to the property. Well-Balanced Land Layout The property is laid out thoughtfully for both farm use and recreation, with two separate pastures and two separate stands of woods. This mix gives the land real dimension and practicality, whether you're grazing animals, working the land, or just enjoying the space. A dedicated shooting range area rounds things out, complete with a high natural berm - a genuinely great feature to have right on the property. Backed by Conservation Land Adding to the privacy and wildlife appeal, the entire back side of the property is buffered by hundreds of acres of undeveloped forest under conservation status. This unbroken forest stretches all the way to the Broad River - a huge draw for hunting and wildlife enthusiasts, and a guarantee that this backdrop isn't going anywhere. Wildlife on the property is abundant, including deer, wild hogs, turkey, bobcats, coyotes, and no shortage of small game, especially rabbits.
