Description

This 20-acre horse property offers a well-designed barndominium, excellent equestrian improvements, and a quiet country setting with great views. Built in 2015, the home features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms with an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area. The kitchen includes granite countertops, custom wood cabinets, a gas range, and a walk-in pantry. Additional features include a gas-log fireplace, laundry room, water filtration system, water softener, reverse osmosis system, and a storm shelter.

The property is served by a private water well approximately 100 feet deep that reportedly tested at 75 gallons per minute when drilled. A backup generator provides additional peace of mind.

Equestrian improvements include a 36 x 60 barn with 14-foot overhangs on both sides, two horse stalls with runs, dog kennel, wash rack with hot water, utility room, and a 100 x 100 riding arena. The barn also includes a separate office with a full bathroom and washer and dryer hookups, making it well suited for a small horse operation, trainer, or additional workspace.

An RV hookup with septic provides additional flexibility for guests or horse show accommodations. The home has a fenced yard with a designated garden area, and the property features slick-wire fencing.

With 20 acres, a strong water well, quality horse facilities, backup generator, RV hookup, and peaceful surroundings, this property provides an excellent setup for a horse owner looking for a manageable acreage with the improvements already in place.
