Designed for equestrian enthusiasts, the farm includes 4 large stalls, an additional enclosed area with tack room, a 40x80 outdoor arena, round pen, multiple walking/riding trails, and secure 4-strand coated wire electric fencing enclosing the pastures. The hay barn stores up to 45 large rolls, and a Kubota tractor with bush hog attachment and a John Deere tractor with 3-in-1 bucket, hay spear, and blade plow attachments may be included with an acceptable offer. Homesteaders and hobby farmers will love the 8x16 greenhouse complete with watering system, auto fans, and overhead heaters, raised garden beds, chicken coop with 6-foot fenced run, and three additional fenced animal pens ideal for poultry or other small animals. A whimsical backyard feature steals the show with a charming, repurposed boat bog garden filled with pink water lilies, water hyacinths, and visiting frogs, adding even more character to this special property. The property also features a wired workshop, perfect for equipment storage, projects, woodworking, or hobby use, along with a detached flex building offering endless potential as an office, craft studio, hobby room, or future ADU with minimal work.
