Living off the land and having everything needed to do so at your fingertips, turnkey is not something that most properties typically possess. Whether you are a large-scale farmer or just have tons of equipment and toys, and this is something you are looking for, you’ve found the one. Everything on this one-of-a-kind homestead has been strategically planned, and there is top-of-the-line craftsmanship behind every detail. Walk with me, and let's get to know your new oasis. Upon turning into the property from the blacktop, enjoy the picturesque, tree-lined driveway following Horse Creek until the meticulously maintained homefront opens up. Feast your eyes on the every man’s dream shop with eight oversized bay doors and storage for everything you can imagine. The north side of the shop features living quarters complete with a full kitchen, full bathroom, and bedroom on the main level with in-floor heating. Up the stairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms with an overview of the middle section of the shop. There is an attached one-car stall with copious amounts of storage room. This addition makes the perfect hospitality host for a company, seasonal workers and farmhands, or even a mother-in-law suit. From here, you can access the next area of the shop, consisting of two large bay doors, in-floor heating, air conditioning, and several space-saving and convenient electric and air ceiling hookups for tools. Down in the next bay, you’ll find an interior room with a loft perfect for more storage and ample space to park mowers, four-wheelers, side x sides, etc. This room opens up into the remainder of the shop with the remaining four bay doors. This is a perfect space to park tractors, combines, trailers, and any large farm equipment you may have. The last stall has doors on the front and back so that you can pull straight through to the gravel pad on the backside of the shop. There is not one detail that is skimped on and no practical idea that was not implemented into this masterpiece of a shop. Your entire farm equipment arsenal can be housed in this one building. Let’s move along to the heart of the property: the home. Love built this home, and it’s very obvious when you take a stroll through every room. Upon entering through the front door, you are greeted by tons of natural light and an open living and kitchen area. You will not run out of storage in this kitchen as there are ample amounts of custom oak cabinetry and even more storage on both sides of the large island. Be sure to take note of the craftsman trim work and custom-cased openings made from solid oak leading into both ends of the home. Two large bedrooms share a bathroom with a walk-in shower on one side of the living area, while the other end of the home hosts many more amenities. The primary suite, again, has gracious amounts of storage with a large closet, built-in storage cabinet nook, and floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry in the bathroom. This bathroom also boasts a walk-in shower with a large sliding glass door. Now for the fun stuff! Every homesteader’s dream begins in this walk-in pantry. Here, you will find storage, storage, and more storage from floor to ceiling: custom built-in cabinetry, shelving, oversized countertops for preparations, a refrigerator, and a pie-resting cabinet. The next door is currently being used as an office, but it could easily be made into whatever you’d like. Just down the hall is another large room with a laundry folding table and sewing table on the back wall. Keep this room as is, or transform it into a craft room, a larger office, or even a nonconforming bedroom! Attached to the home is a two-car garage with sealed concrete floors. Included in the garage is the laundry room, which also houses all the hookups for the in-floor heating throughout the home and garage. Next door, you’ll find another walk-in pantry/storage room. Lastly, you’ll find the remaining room in the garage: this temperature-controlled room is currently being utilized for keeping canned goods cold all year round. This could easily be made into a walk-in freezer to hang and process your wild game. This is the only room that does not have in-floor heating in the entire house/garage. Outside, you will find the welcoming, partially covered back porch area, perfect for entertaining guests or winding down at the end of a well-worked day. The ease of movement from the kitchen to the back porch makes it easy to grill and not miss out on any of the outdoor/indoor activities. You’ll also see an established strawberry patch, a large tilled garden that awaits your spring sowing, a clothesline, and a storage shed for all your gardening tools. If you need one more reason to fall in love with this place, you can rest assured that in any severe weather event, your home is safely powered by a 27kW Generac propane generator that can power the entire property, both home and shop included. The sellers state that when the power goes out, all you experience is a quick and minor blink of the lights, as the generator automatically powers up and restores all your utilities. As if this property couldn’t get any better, there are excellent places to hang a deer stand, the property has partially maintained fencing and has established smooth brome pastures, making this land income-producing.This year, in the widespread drought we’ve had, they were able to get 127 bales on the first cut and 36 bales on the second cut on the approximately 16.5 +/- acres that are being farmed. Bring your family and your cattle, horses, goats, and chickens, and start living out your homesteading and farming dreams!
