Welcome to this versatile hobby farm just outside of German Valley, where you’ll find a little bit of everything for your rural lifestyle. As you enter the home, you’re greeted by a spacious family room, perfect for gatherings and relaxation. This area includes a cozy spot for a smaller table, ideal for casual meals or morning coffee. Step out from the family room onto the expansive deck, a perfect space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the fresh country air. The family room seamlessly transitions into the eat-in kitchen, which boasts abundant cabinet space. There's an unused nook that could easily be transformed into a walk-in pantry or first-floor laundry. From the kitchen, you have access to the 3-season porch, complete with a hot tub, leading out to the inviting pool area—perfect for summer fun! Continuing through the home, you’ll discover a spacious living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the living room is a spare room that can be easily converted into a first-floor master bedroom or used as an office or den. Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms, including a master bedroom with two generous closets. The lower level offers some finished space, featuring a spare room and an additional bathroom, perfect for guests or recreation. The attached 2.5-car garage includes storage above and convenient access to the blacktop driveway, providing ample parking between the house and the shop. The impressive 52 x 84 shop features both climate-controlled and cold storage areas. The front section includes 52 x 31 of heated and cooled space with a floor drain and water—ideal for a workshop or garage, complete with a 9 by 12 office. The 52 x 52 cold storage area boasts two oversized overhead doors, providing plenty of room for all your equipment. This property also features a two-story barn with a mow, including a tack room and windbreaker stall, leading out to fenced pasture and a wood-fenced arena. With four stalls in the barn, your animals will have plenty of shelter and space to roam. On the side of the house, you’ll find a delightful garden and orchard area, complete with berry bushes and a variety of fruit trees, including apple, cherry, pear, and peach. This turnkey property comes with a host of updates, including a newer roof, windows, insulation, siding, and septic system.
