In the back yard there is a concrete slab underneath a big shade tree that is currently set up with a firepit and chairs.  There is a water spigot on top of the well that is great for watering your back lawn and/or putting out your firepits.  The owners installed a new well pump in August of 2023.  There are three outbuildings on the property.  One is an 18’ x 28’ structure that was an old schoolhouse, it is not original to the property but a very neat feature that was moved in.  The schoolhouse has electricity run to it and has an overhead garage door so you can park vehicles or equipment in it.  There is a 20’ x 20’ below ground chicken coop with a chicken run.  It is currently not hooked up to water or electricity but there is a water line nearby where you could install a spigot.  

The acreage is made up of the 1-acre farm site, 159+/- acres of dry grazing that is currently split into three pastures.  The home site is tastefully landscaped, complete with flowerboxes and established shade trees.  The canal runs through the back pasture on the northeast corner of the property.  There is an alleyway between the three pastures that leads to the 30’ x 58’ metal pole barn where livestock would have access to the self-waterer, there is also a spigot in one of the corrals as an additional water source.  The land is currently being leased, the current lessee would be interested in continuing the lease or the new owner could take it over as they please.  The acreage is perfect for the horse enthusiast or someone looking for a country home surrounded by beautiful views and wildlife.  There is perimeter fencing in place.  One other perk is the outdoor cement basketball court with permanent basketball hoop. 

The property is located on a county road, county workers maintain the road, plow snow in the winter months, and it is convenient for school bus drop off and pick up.  The current owner did a great job maintaining and renovating this property.  Call us today to schedule a private showing of this beautiful move-in-ready home.  Interactive Map and Virtual Tour available upon request.  Zillow 3D Home Tour coming soon!
