County records are inaccurate on this property. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this fantastic mini-farm - 8.8 ACRES, 2BR/1BTH, multiple barns, fenced perimeter and cross-fenced to provide multiple pastures, giving you flexibility to separate and move your critters. BRING THE HORSES!!! The home is cabin-style, newly sided in 2012 with wood interior throughout. County water run in 2013. The 1,224 sqft lower floor offers Master bedroom with nice sized walk-in closet, office (or BR), full bath, laundry, large eat-in kitchen and living room downstairs. One of my favorite facets of this diamond is the HUGE front porch where it’s just a joy to sit with your morning coffee, take in the pastoral views of the neighborhood and observe the horses, Llamas or whatever livestock you have in the fenced pasture. There is also a covered porch to enter the kitchen in the back. A third porch (9x13) which was previously screened has been enclosed and windows installed for the owner to use as his tele-commuting office. With a heat vent to this space the total home footage will be @1770 sq ft. Upstairs is a BONUS ROOM!!! Ascend the stairs to find a 200 sqft bonus room to your right, (currently used as a guest bedroom) a 230 sqft space to your left and a door to the substantial attic storage in front of you. There is a Window and power at each side of the house. Behind the home is a insulated well house/canning storage shed with power. The 50ft well is available for use to the home and/or water spigots for the livestock. A great place for the extra fridge and freezer. Just a few feet beyond that is a 24’ x 48’ 4-stall Pole barn for carport/Tractor shed. An additional covered space with welded wire walls is attached to the end of this “carport” building, approx. 10’ x 24’ it had been used for chickens but is now storage for greenhouse/plant supplies. On the hill above the house sits a 30’ x 40’ Monitor barn with power, currently used for raising poultry. It contains 6 stalls, an insulated brooding room and a tack room. It has fenced and netted pens outside to protect your flock. A nice sized barnyard behind the barn with a small "pond" for the water fowl to play is also fenced and reinforced with hog panels for your heavy-weight critters. There is a freeze-proof water spigot at the barnyard fence. Beyond the monitor barn is an area for fruit grove or garden. Several blue-berry bushes have been planted, there are two very strong mature and productive peach trees there as well. At the back of the property is an impressive 24’ x 100’ pole barn with power. One half has lighting and power and contains four horse stalls, a small goat stall and a tack room. The other half is enclosed on three sides, open in the front and used as a run-in for horses. A portion of the run-in is pallet-fenced to create a nice sized protected goat pen. A four-pen concrete floored building is further to the back of the house lot and could be used for chickens (as is currently) dogs, or what have you. There is are two freeze-proof water spigots nearby. There is also a 10x20 greenhouse made of 4x4 posts with cattle panels for the roof makes it tall. With commercial greenhouse plastic and the wooden framed ends this has stood through a hurricane without issues. The 8.83 acres is approximately 60-70% pasture with some large trees scattered about and plenty of old shade trees on the lower perimeter for the animals to keep out of the sun. A truly delightful place to live and an animal lovers paradise.
