Set on a 20-acre blend of huntable forest, tillable acreage, and estate like grounds, this premium hobby farm residence offers a rare combination of 360-degree privacy, expansive countryside views, functionality, and outdoor enjoyment. The turnkey, walkout rambler is complemented by a spacious outbuilding with both heated workshop space and cold storage. Useful outdoor spaces, including a deck with a gazebo, a large patio, an above-ground pool, and a well-planned food plot for wildlife, create an inviting setting for entertaining and unwinding, integrated with nature. The surrounding land provides room to roam and the unique opportunity for world-class hunting on your own property.
THE HOME:
The 1999, walk-out rambler has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated both inside and out by the current owners. The main floor is bright open with vaulted ceilings, large windows and expansive nature views from every room. A 2017 renovation opened the kitchen, dining, and living areas, which included refaced cabinetry, new LVP flooring, granite countertops, new GE appliances, and a fresh knockdown ceiling. The main-level primary bedroom offers vaulted ceilings, peaceful nature views, a wide double-door closet, and direct access to the walk-through bathroom, while a second generously sized bedroom features its own walk-in closet. The walkout lower level extends the living space with two additional bedrooms, a large family room with a gas fireplace and an office nook, and a full laundry room that also functions as a mudroom. The laundry space is beautifully updated with hickory cabinets, Samsung appliances, an improved drop ceiling, and wainscoting. A 3/4 bathroom serves the lower-level bedrooms and common space. All flooring throughout the home has been replaced since acquisition, with LVP on the main level and new carpeting below. The interior paint was refreshed in 2026. An attached, heated, two-car garage with room for extra storage connects through the lower level, and abundant closets and storage spaces are found throughout the home. The exterior of the home was updated in 2024 with a new roof, vinyl siding, and gutters.
OUTBUILDINGS:
The 34’ by 60’ stick-framed outbuilding with concrete floors and 220V service, is divided in half with a heated workshop on one side, and cold storage on the other. Additional attic storage space spans the entire length of outbuilding. The exterior of the outbuilding was also updated in 2024 with a new roof, vinyl siding, and gutters.
THE GROUNDS:
This serene, 20-acre estate consists 100% of usable high ground divided between huntable forest (approximately 11 acres), tillable acreage (approximately 7 acres), and park-like grounds (approximately 2 acres). The property offers year-around space and integration with nature for outdoor play, social gatherings, nature watching, gardening, farming, and/or world-class hunting. A deck off the main level extends to a gazebo and a large concrete patio, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding while taking in the peaceful surroundings. A new above-ground pool, added in 2024, enhances the property’s outdoor enjoyment and rounds out a truly versatile and picturesque landscape.
WORLD CLASS HUNTING:
This is a rare opportunity to have world-class hunting on your own land, steps from your front door.

A well planned clover food plot just west of the home helps to attract deer, turkey, black bear, pheasant, grouse, and more.
