Here is the rare combination that you search for and seldom find — a tidy, move-in ready farmette where absolutely nothing has been left to do but move in and enjoy. With nearly 7 level acres, this property is fully fenced and ready for horses or livestock, anchored by a well-maintained rancher and supported by an impressive array of outbuildings and equestrian infrastructure — all with no HOA restrictions standing in your way.

At the heart of the property sits a 5-stall center aisle barn, centrally positioned to allow easy access to the multiple fenced paddocks surrounding it. The level terrain is an exceptional asset offering several natural configurations for a future arena. Two run-in sheds provide additional options for easy horsekeeping.

The quality constructed ranch style home offers the convenience of true one-level living. An open floorplan gives flexibility to the 3 bedroom and 2.5 bath space. The great room is highlighted by a masonry fireplace and glass doors leading to a sunroom that provides views of the pastures. A full unfinished lower level — complete with a brick fireplace and walk-out access — is an exciting blank canvas to expand the living space. A 2-car attached garage rounds out the home's practical appeal.

A substantial 36' x 45' utility building opens up a world of possibilities beyond the barn. Car collectors, hobbyists, mechanics, and anyone with serious equipment or machinery storage needs will appreciate the scale and flexibility this structure provides. Workshop, storage, studio, or all three — the space adapts to your passion.

Whether you are downsizing from a larger working farm and need everything dialed in from day one, or finally making the leap to having your horses right outside the back door, this property meets you exactly where you are. Ag recapture tax is due if agricultural use is not continued.
