A sliding glass door opens to the rear deck, creating an ideal spot for grilling, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. Upstairs, the 9-foot ceilings continue throughout all four generously sized bedrooms, enhancing the home's spacious feel. A full bathroom serves the upper level. Numerous updates, including newer mechanical systems and updated electrical and plumbing, provide modern convenience while preserving the home's classic farmhouse character. The property's outbuildings and existing infrastructure provide exceptional flexibility for a wide range of uses. Whether you're looking for space for animals, equipment, recreational vehicles, a workshop, hobby farming, or simply room to spread out, the property offers the foundation to make it your own. The approximately 38-by-58-foot Quonset building offers substantial space for tractors, trailers, recreational vehicles, workshop projects, equipment, or general storage. A separate approximately 48-by-24-foot metal building provides additional flexible space, while multiple wood barns offer opportunities for livestock, feed, equipment, or agricultural storage. Together, the Quonset building, metal building, and wood barns provide a substantial amount of covered space for storage, equipment, livestock, or hobby use, giving the next owner the flexibility to use and improve the property as they see fit. Existing fenced pasture areas provide room for animals, while extensive concrete parking and drive areas make maneuvering trucks, trailers, farm equipment, and recreational vehicles both convenient and efficient.
