Exceptional Micro-Farm Estate on Over 12 Acres!
Welcome to your very own Modern Day Green Acres Opportunity!
Discover a rare opportunity to own a fully improved micro-farm offering over 12 acres of gently rolling land with extensive infrastructure and a beautifully renovated main residence. The centerpiece is a classic brick Dutch Colonial with a slate roof and full basement, thoughtfully renovated within the last few years while preserving its traditional floor plan and timeless character. The updated kitchen features custom heart pine cabinetry, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and opens to a large rear deck overlooking mature landscaping and scenic grounds. Updated baths, abundant natural light, and quality finishes throughout make the home both elegant and functional.
The property is exceptionally well-equipped with multiple outbuildings, ideal for farming, storage, hobbies, or multi-use living. Improvements include a two-story ADU, a massive conditioned 8-car metal building complete with game room and bath, a large pole barn with expansive lean-to, a two-car garage with walk-in cooler, an additional 25' x 25' pole barn, and a large shed with covered porch. Three silos provide unique and practical storage options, while the 15' x 48' greenhouse supports year-round growing. The land is partially fenced and enhanced by well-established landscaping throughout.
This versatile property offers endless possibilities—micro-farming, homesteading, agri-business, multi-generational living, or a private country retreat—just waiting for its next steward.
