Property Description

Offered for the first time in generations, this rare 17.63-acre homestead presents an exceptional opportunity to own a cherished family legacy in a beautiful countryside setting. Located on a paved road just 5 miles south of Red Jacket Trail Park and near the Maple River, the property offers a scenic, wildlife-rich landscape highlighted by a picturesque wooded ravine that outdoor enthusiasts will love. The home is anchored by a remarkably solid foundation that was completely rebuilt in 1994, including beneath the original portion of the home. A substantial addition completed that same year introduced a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings and a stunning fireplace, creating a warm gathering space that flows seamlessly into a large three-season porch surrounded by windows overlooking the tranquil wooded surroundings. Major mechanical systems reflect the quality and care invested in the property, including two forced-air furnaces, two central air conditioning systems, a concrete block foundation, and dual sump pumps. Combined with the impressive 1994-built three-car garage, the home offers outstanding bones and endless potential for a new owner to add their own modern updates and personal touches. The property's extensive outbuilding package provides exceptional versatility. Improvements include a 1,200-square-foot barn with hay loft, a 2,520-square-foot Quonset building, granary, lean-to, and poultry building. These structures offer countless possibilities for storage, livestock, hobby farming, retail ventures, workshop space, or even a boutique event venue. The grounds have previously hosted beautiful weddings, featuring a charming wooden arbor nestled near the ravine that remains today. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife and exceptional deer and turkey hunting opportunities right on the property, making this a true recreational retreat as well as a potential business opportunity. Whether you're seeking a hobby farm, hunting retreat, event venue, or simply a peaceful country estate to build your own legacy, this one-of-a-kind property offers possibilities rarely found on the market. Please note: This offering includes 17.63 acres encompassing the homestead, outbuildings, and the scenic wooded ravine. The remaining approximately 20 acres of tillable farmland have been subdivided and are not included in the sale.
