Very affordable 1,500-square-foot farm home on 21.5 acres! This charming 3-bedroom farmhouse (with a 4th non-conforming bedroom) offers the perfect blend of peaceful countryside living and everyday convenience—ideally nestled between Lake City and Manton. Start your mornings surrounded by nature, with wildlife roaming near the pond tucked quietly at the back of the property. Whether you’re a hunter, a nature lover, or someone who simply craves space to breathe, this land offers the perfect backdrop for your outdoor lifestyle. Inside, the home features an open-concept kitchen and living area, two main-floor bedrooms, and an enclosed porch currently serving as a home office. Upstairs, you’ll find one bedroom, plus a versatile landing perfect for a playroom, reading nook, or workout space. The sellers have already started some updates—including a new well pump, bladder, and freshly pumped septic, updated flooring and moving laundry to the main floor in the converted bathroom—but there's still room for your finishing touches. That makes this a fantastic opportunity for both homeowners ready to customize their dream property and investors looking for a potential rental with land. A large 38x24 detached garage is great for storage or the mechanic that wants space, the 12x10 shed fenced in for their dog breeding has been used by the current seller for the dogs or add chicken for more possibilities. The home is heated by a pellet stove only. Whether you're starting a hobby farm, seeking privacy, or eyeing your next investment—this property is ready to welcome your vision home.
