This beautifully designed 4.5-acre hobby farm is a dream for horse enthusiasts and animal lovers, offering ample space, top-tier facilities, and direct access to nature. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, the property features a professionally built 180’x100’ riding ring, a large paddock area, and a serene pond surrounded by mature forest. Equestrian facilities include a 100’x18’ insulated 8-stall barn with power and water, a 2-stall barn with hay storage and a tack room, and an additional 2-stall horse shelter. The property can accommodate up to 12 horses, with four standpipes ensuring abundant water from a high-producing well. Numerous equipment shelters and sheds provide extra storage.

A full unfinished basement with a separate driveway provides excellent potential for future expansion or rental income. Recent upgrades include two mini-split heat pumps, a new pressure tank for the well, and updated light fixtures throughout. A tenant-owned mobile home sits on a separate rental pad with its own private driveway, address, septic, and meter, well set back from the main home for privacy.
