About this home

WANTED: A Dream Builder with Vision and Grit This one is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones who can see potential where others just see overgrowth. Sitting on 103 acres, this property is full of character and waiting for someone ready to bring it back to life. Once home to a cozy farmhouse, you will still find two original stone fireplaces standing proud as a nod to what once was. There is a creek that winds through in several spots, a few natural caves tucked away, and plenty of open areas just waiting to be cleared for a homesite, garden, or maybe a few four-legged friends. The old barn still stands, weathered but strong, and the former home site has power access, a well, and a septic system. The condition of those is unknown, but the potential is there. The property is bordered by conservation land at the top and along one side, giving you peace, privacy, and room to roam. You will see the original photos marked to show where everything once was, so you can imagine how easily, with a bush hog and a little vision, this land could be transformed back to its well-manicured glory. Possible Uses Include: A private homestead or family retreat A small farm or hobby ranch A hunting or recreational getaway An off-grid or eco-friendly community project A campground or glamping site with creekside charm If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and build something special, this land is ready to meet its match. Bring your boots, your imagination, and your vision. The dream is waiting.
