Rare opportunity to own a turn key farmette in a fantastic location offering Woodstock schools. Completely fenced 13 acres with distinct areas for multi-use. Current owners have had steer, cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, and rabbits. Serene location with long drive that leads to a setting with mature trees, a creek (drains to neighbors' pond), four stall horse barn with water outside and electric, two pastures and four fenced paddocks. There is water to the front and back pasture, as well as the chicken coop. Gorgeous Maple trees line the side drive and have been tapped for syrup in the past producing 4-5 gallons annually. There are also seven apple trees on the property. Artesian well. Septic in back to the right. The land is a kids (and adult) playland with large newer composite deck, lower-level patio, zipline, above ground pool (heated by stove and solar panels), treehouse and plenty of land for exploring. The home offers a split-level floorplan with a fantastic multipurpose upper room currently used as a bedroom. There is additional attic space and a sub-basement for more storage needs. The Lower Level offers a convenient wood cabinet to easily access wood for the wood stove directly from the wood storage building outside (high end wood stove is for sale separately and is a money saving heat alternative to the furnace use, as it heats 99% of the house). The gourmet Kitchen, with SS appliances, offers a large island, 2 pantry cabinets and space for a generously sized table. Upgrades in 2018-2019 include house siding (with additional insulation), attic insulation, roof on house, roof on barn, front door, and upper house windows. Convenient on demand hot water heater, water filtration system, and high quality Goodman furnace and AC system. $5,000 Seller Closing Cost Credit to Buyer. A Perfect Paradise to call HOME!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
