A covered front porch provides a place to relax and enjoy the rural surroundings, while the large back patio offers additional space for outdoor dining, grilling, and entertaining. The spacious yard provides plenty of room for outdoor activities and creates an attractive setting around the residence. A long gravel driveway leads into the property, providing a sense of separation from the roadway and convenient access to the home and outbuildings. A gravel parking area offers room for vehicles, trailers, and equipment. A storm shelter is also located on the property, adding a practical feature for severe weather preparedness. One of the property's standout features is the collection of three pole barns. A 24' x 30' building, a 30' x 40' building, and a larger 30' x 60' building provide substantial space for equipment, vehicles, recreational gear, workshop activities, and general storage. The variety of building sizes offers flexibility for different uses, whether maintaining the property, storing tractors and implements, or accommodating hobbies and other rural activities. Beyond the homesite, the acreage features gently rolling topography with a diverse mixture of open ground, timber, and water. Approximately 6± acres of open ground provide opportunities for a variety of uses, including maintaining open areas, gardening, wildlife food plots, or other rural activities. These openings also create valuable edge habitat where they transition into the surrounding timber. A large pond with a dock is another notable feature of the property. The pond creates a scenic focal point within the landscape and provides opportunities for enjoying time outdoors. The dock offers convenient access to the water and a place to relax while taking in the surrounding views. The pond also contributes to the property's wildlife habitat by providing a water source and creating additional edge and transition cover. The timbered portions of the property consist of a mixture of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods. The hardwood component provides seasonal food sources for wildlife, while the surrounding softwoods and understory vegetation contribute additional cover. The combination of timber, open ground, and water creates a varied habitat layout that supports a range of wildlife activity throughout the year. Deer and turkey hunting opportunities add another recreational component to the property. The mixture of mast-producing timber, open areas, and thicker cover provides feeding and bedding habitat for whitetails, while the wooded terrain and openings offer opportunities for spring turkey hunting. The pond adds another water source within the landscape, complementing the surrounding habitat. Mowed trails extend throughout the property, providing convenient access to different portions of the acreage. These trails make it easier to explore the timber, maintain open areas, access hunting locations, and enjoy recreational activities. The established trail system also adds convenience for property management and general maintenance. The gently rolling terrain creates natural transitions between open ground, timbered areas, and the pond. These habitat changes provide opportunities for wildlife movement and offer flexibility for buyers interested in continued habitat management. The open acreage could be maintained for recreational use or developed into additional wildlife food plots, while the wooded portions provide cover and natural forage. The property's minimal road frontage contributes to its secluded rural setting. The long gravel driveway provides access to the residence and improvements while placing the main living areas away from the roadway. This layout offers an appealing setting for those seeking a country property with room for equipment, outdoor activities, and recreational use. What makes this Saline County property particularly versatile is the combination of residential improvements and recreational acreage. The comfortable home provides a place for full-time living or weekend stays, while the three pole barns offer substantial storage and workspace. The pond, open ground, timbered habitat, and trail system create opportunities to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the property. Whether you're looking for a country residence with room for equipment and hobbies, a recreational retreat, or a property that combines comfortable living with deer and turkey hunting opportunities, this tract offers a well-rounded collection of features.
