Get Lost On Your Own Property

Cruising down a scenic blacktop on a lazy Sunday afternoon in Livingston County, you decide to take an alternate route. Although you are only a couple miles outside of Chillicothe, the seclusion becomes increasingly noticeable after making a right turn onto LIV 228. Almost immediately after turning, you notice a For Sale sign. Slowing down to peek, you strain to see a peaceful home nestled amongst the trees. Pausing on the road, you utilize Google Maps on your phone for more information. The property itself consists of 39 M/L acres. It has a rolling landscape with a mixture of timber and open hayfields. A small stream further diversifies the property and there is even a small pond. This area looks to be a wildlife haven.

Now that your curiosity has peaked, you dial the agent’s phone number on the sign. The gentleman that answers the phone explains that the main level has a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. This level also has a sun-porch and an attached garage. The living room’s main attraction is the brick fireplace, which also extends into the basement. The walk-out basement adds a bedroom, bathroom, living area and two bonus rooms to the home’s resume. The home could use a cosmetic makeover.

Cruising past the land and down the road, you’re surprised at how alluring the entire package is. Although the home needs work, it could be a great opportunity to add your personal touches. Peace and quiet without a neighbor in sight. Cruising the short distance back into Chillicothe, your lazy Sunday drive has been sabotaged by the urge for a lifestyle change.
