This is the quintessential Carroll County farm, perfectly situated among the rolling hills of agriculture and timber. The square 40-acre parcel offers a little bit of everything—ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful country lifestyle. The land includes approximately 30 acres of productive farmland, divided into several sections located both north and south of the homesite. As you drive down the private lane, you pass through farm fields, pockets of open fields, and stretches of timber before crossing over a small creek that leads to the residence. The well-maintained farmhouse is warm and welcoming, with a classic front porch that’s perfect for greeting guests or enjoying quiet country mornings. Inside, you're met with a comfortable open flow featuring original trim, hardwood floors, and a cozy charm throughout. The main living spaces—family room, formal dining, and kitchen—all connect seamlessly. The kitchen is highlighted by a wood-burning stove and a sliding glass door that opens to a peaceful back patio. The main floor also features a large primary bedroom with access to a full bathroom, as well as a den that could serve as an office, hobby room, or additional bedroom. Upstairs, there are two more generously sized bedrooms. The basement, while unfinished, is neat and well-kept—ideal for storage, a workshop, or a crafting area. A spacious 3-car attached garage provides ample parking, while the 40x60 metal outbuilding is great for storing equipment or recreational gear. For those with livestock, there’s a 70x30 multi-level barn with stalls below and hay storage above. Portions of the property could easily be fenced and turned back into pasture, especially with the bonus of a natural spring and creek running through. There's also strong potential for whitetail hunting, with timbered areas and the opportunity to create food plots or habitat improvements. Just a mile from Rack & Wing and an easy drive from the city, this property blends rural charm with practical versatility.
