Stunning old farmhouse has been meticulously rebuilt by a builder who planned to make it his own home. Every detail was handcrafted to perfection, blending old-time charm with modern finishes. Rustic barn doors, tin accents, hickory floors, and knotty pine throughout bring the outdoors in, creating a warm, inviting, and unique living space. Set on 12 private acres, the property includes 2 detached garages, a large red barn, tractor shed, a chicken barn, and an additional storage shed. Fruit trees including apples, peach, & pear. As well as blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, and grapes surround the home, offering a true hobby farm experience. Five acres of hay ground provide plenty of space for horses or other livestock, with fenced areas surrounding the barn for easy animal management.
