About this property
Motivated Seller!! This charming farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a home that practically pays for itself - it generates enough income to cover most of the mortgage. Located on 5+/- acres with poultry house for supplemental income, and barn. The property features a 2,500 +/- sq ft beautifully maintained farmhouse full of rustic charm and modern updates, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and including NEW siding, roofing, skylights, washer, and hot water heater. Enter the first floor into the newly renovated kitchen, including the warm, cherry cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops and subway tile backsplash, farmhouse/apron style sink, and stainless steel appliances. The spacious dining room has wide plank wooden floors and wooden beams on the ceiling. The front entryway opens into the large living room with high ceilings and natural light flooding the room, creating an inviting atmosphere. Additionally, a warm and cozy den feels like a hidden retreat from the world with floors covered in a thick carpet, a brick, gas fireplace, and wooden beams on the ceiling, making the space feel sheltered and serene. A third entryway leads into a landing area featuring a full bath, laundry room, and storage. Enjoy outdoor living in the spacious screened-in porch with basketweave brick floor, or enjoy the outdoors on the composite deck with hot tub, or the open concrete patio with brick edging and gardens. The second floor is where you will find three bedrooms and two additional full baths. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub and walk-in shower, and private access to a large balcony. The other two bedrooms are generously sized with a lot of natural light. The farm is a working poultry farm with one well-maintained 400' x 40' house in production with a separate well and generator. There is a second poultry house that is cleaned out and can be repurposed for storage, workshop, small animals, to name just a few. Other improvements include a one-car detached garage, a barn with a full loft, and an 18' x 60' addition with concrete floors and work benches that has been used as a workshop. The addition is flanked by a lean-to for additional storage.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
