Picture turning off the road to the crunch of gravel under your tires and feeling the noise of the day get quieter as your beautiful farmette comes into view; the barn standing against a pastoral backdrop, pasture stretching beyond the yard and your own little apple orchard waiting for crisp fall afternoons spent picking apples. This is the kind of place where summer means bare feet in the grass, afternoons spent around the 28’ above-ground pool and evenings when the loudest sounds might be the breeze through the trees, crickets under starry skies and activity around the barn. This Merrill Wisconsin Farmette consists of an updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath single level home and main floor laundry surrounded by the space that makes small-farm living so special. An absolutely beautiful 40x90 barn with a metal roof and a 12x20 lean-to in excellent condition, 36x63 machine shed and detached 2-car garage create possibilities for horses, livestock, gardens, homesteading, hobbies or simply room to breathe. Imagine morning coffee overlooking your own piece of the countryside, tending a garden, gathering apples from your own trees and ending the day beneath a wide Wisconsin sky. More than a home, this Central Wisconsin farmette offers a chance to trade some of life's noise for open space, quiet moments and a lifestyle that's becoming increasingly hard to find. This is a rare opportunity in this area, and the next owner will be lucky to be the next steward of the property. Additional specs: Pool operation - electric goes up $100/month on average when running the filter. 2-3 chlorine tablets/week (a $20 box lasts 3-4 weeks). Pool was purchased from The Pool People in 2023, professionally installed and has been maintained, winterized and opened by seller each year. Mound system installed in 2011, Kitchen remodeled in 2022, full bath off living room remodeled in 2022, paver patio installed in 2024, Culligan water softener is rented.
