Roam the diverse grounds and enjoy the 7 acre off road track, agricultural farmland, 150 sg ft tree house perched 15' up in the trees, pasture, and fabulous, lush grassy yard. The main home offers an open floor plan with a fabulous two-story great room and floor to ceiling Palladian windows with stunning views of the property, the focal point of the home. An adjacent gourmet sun-drenched kitchen has double ovens, quartz and granite countertops and room for entertaining or large families.

The property is ideal for horses and livestock, with a 5-stall barn, tack room, 12-acre pasture, two outdoor arenas, space for an indoor arena, and close to the Bull Valley riding trails. The barn has a huge adjacent workshop, with room to store an RV, boat, or just create the ideal man (or woman) cave. The homeowner currently rents out 17 acres for crops, generating approximately $2600 a year in revenue.
