The land is an exceptional blend of production-ready agriculture and recreation. For livestock or equestrian pursuits, 55 acres of beautifully maintained rolling pasture land are strategically cross-fenced into six distinct fields—featuring quality fencing under 6 years old and automatic livestock waterers served by two fully functional, interconnected wells. Equine enthusiasts will admire the pristine 25x25 5-stall horse barn (2024), built with durable pole construction, white oak siding, concrete floors, a dedicated tack room, and a loft for hay storage. For equipment, toys, or operations, the property includes a massive 4,250-square-foot insulated and heated shop (2022) with electricity, plumbing, a bathroom, and a large 15x85 lean-to. The remaining 25 acres consist of a mature hardwood forest rich with White Oak, Chestnut Oak, and Hickory, framing a private 275-yard shooting range with an established backstop. A system of well-maintained internal roads offers easy vehicle access across the entire estate, linking the back fields to a serene, spring-fed pond featuring a freshly engineered clay and bentonite-lined dam. The fully finished 2-bay garage, outdoor-access laundry room with a service sink round out this rare turnkey retreat.
