Enjoy all the space and charm of an 1880's farmhouse, retained by the same family for four generations. The secluded, picturesque entrance opens into 60+/- acres with 20+/- acres of open fields with a wonderful pond site, the balance being wooded with a creek bordering the rear of the property. Originally a two over two dwelling, a log kitchen was attached to the rear. Years later, additional living space was added to the home including a new kitchen, creating the necessity for mules to drag the existing kitchen away.

Five bedrooms, three full baths, formal parlor, dining room, family room, large utility room and pantry provide ample space for a large family or entertaining overnight guests. Architectural amenities include bead board throughout most of the home, 5 fireplaces, hardwood flooring, winder rear staircase and metal roof. Renovated in 1998 to offer updated plumbing, oil pack central heat, air conditioning, wiring, high efficiency windows and doors. Several outbuildings and log barns offer storage, this property is excellent for horses, hunting and outdoor enjoyment. Experience the living in a true American farmhouse symbolizing a safe retreat, a place to share with loved ones and the delight of good things cooking in the kitchen!
