"Old McDonald Had A Farm"... and you can too! If you are longing to live in the country and dreamed of life on the farm, with chickens in the coop or pigs in the pen - here is your chance! This beautiful 10.82 acre farm place continues today as a self-sustaining farm for a wonderful family of 10! Located along the tarred road of 150th Avenue, and the acres already established with huge vegetable gardens, flower gardens, fruit trees and patches of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins & squash, plus a pasture, this is the perfect property to host your very own Farmer's Market! There's always room for one more beyond the front door in this 1915 historic two story farmhouse! The large kitchen offers a long peninsula, butcherblock countertop, multiple cupboards, stainless steel appliances, and an amazing walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving for your canned goods! Also on the main floor is a mudroom, the formal dining room, living room, large front porch, bedroom, and a 3/4 bathroom with shower and main floor laundry! Upstairs is host to three large bedrooms, a walk-in closet and another 3/4 bath with the traditional claw-foot tub! Specially designed for the storage of the garden harvest, the basement offers plenty of storage rooms and custom built potato racks plus additional shelving for canned goods. History is present as you open the door and smell the smoke of the past in the former sausage curing room also located in the basement. In 2018, the former owners of the home updated the kitchen, added all new plumbing, electrical breakers, drywall & fixtures. This lovely well maintained home has a total of 3,320 square feet; 2,230 of that being fully finished on the main floor and upstairs! There is also a detached two car garage just east of the driveway.
The story of Charlotte's Web comes to mind as you step in the barn and see "Wilbur" and his buddy in hog heaven, resting in the large pen that has access to the fenced pasture. You can hear the chickens clucking away in their nesting boxes, located in the ol' milking parlor. Two more chicken coops house additional chickens, roosters and turkeys on the farm. The steel tinned machine shed currently stores the tractor and chopped wood for the Heatmor Wood Stove; and the granary is great for more outdoor storage! Environment and Efficiency go hand-in hand with the upgraded and compliant septic system, and the Heatmor Wood Boiler System. Although propane is the primary fuel source, the Heatmor Wood system can heat the entire house if needed. The property also offers a private well AND Rural Water piped in from Lincoln Pipestone Rural Water Company! There is a remaining balance of $5945 for install of rural water. If you have not had the opportunity of Rural Water - Oh what a treat! Enjoy your evenings around the outdoor rock firepit or watching the littles swing on the outdoor swing set..
So if you're dreaming of your "Home On The Range" or the peace and privacy of life "Down On The Farm," do not miss this chance to make your dreams come true! E-I-E-I-O!
