This farm was formerly a very successful Beef Cattle operation; it is currently a beautiful and much loved family hobby farm, but it has the potential to be whatever you want it to be! Work the land as much or as little as you want!
This property would make a beautiful Horse Farm - especially for Eventing, boarding, trail riding or a Horse Show Barn (Hunter/Jumper, Western, etc.)
The property features beautiful rolling hayfields and fenced pastures - great for winter tobogganing and family skiing or snowboarding. There are gently rolling hills in the 30 acres of hayfields. There are also some flat areas for future riding rings and/or training tracks. There are trails throughout the property, a spring, a pond for winter skating, a rock quarry for terrific (and safe) bonfires or your own private shooting range. The hayfields at the back of the property would be perfect for horse shows. The fields have a lovely flat area for multiple show rings (or another possible training track??) but also an elevated area, ideal for spectators...a natural grandstand! There would also be plenty of parking for trailers with access from Shannonville Rd. It would be perfect for hosting horse shows without disturbing your own horses near the barn.
The barn is a very well built, sturdy bank barn. The loft floor has been reinforced and is ideal for storing tractors or other heavy farm machinery plus hay and/or straw. There is a huge run-in shelter for the animals plus two separate barnyard areas (some new post and rail fencing in June 2009). The lean-to section easily shelters approximately 20 large animals without being cramped for space. The main level of the barn includes a tall ceiling - 8'-9' (suitable for draft horses), a large tack/feed area (plus another tack room area upstairs), a large driveshed section for the tractor (or could be converted to more stalls). The main section that is currently used to house animals has 3 stalls/pens (including 2 stanchions for cows) but there is plenty of room for more stalls. The barn yard dries quickly after rain so the animals aren't left standing in mud for very long. There is a large flat area near the barnyard that would be suitable for a large sand riding ring or riding arena. There is also a separate hay storage barn which holds about 100 large round or square bales and it would be ideal for storing RVs, trailers, vehicles, equipment, etc. There are posts installed for a 60' round pen...all it needs are rails, which can be taken right off the property.
The house is a well-built brick bungalow, about 20 years old, with a newer roof ('07), hardwood floors throughout the main level, central vac, spacious open concept living area including a large kitchen with plenty of counter and cupboard space, large dining area, family room, & separate living room. There are 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs, a full bath, half bath ensuite, and main floor laundry area. There are two new spacious bedrooms downstairs (or bedroom + office) + a large rec room + plenty of storage area. The Basement comes with a lifetime dryness guarantee from Wet Tek. The home is heated with an electric/wood combination forced air furnace. The wood heat is incredible in the winter and the electric heat acts as a back-up when nobody is there to keep the fire going. There is an attached, insulated 1.5 car garage with entry into the house and basement (new insulated garage door and automatic opener in July 2009). There is also a hidden shute from the garage to the basement to ensure easy wood storage for the furnace.
The house & barn face almost directly south for great sun exposure all day - would be great for solar panels. The front and back yard would be an ideal location for more vegetable and flower gardens. There are many mature locus trees and maple trees to provide shade at the hottest times of the day. The driveway is lined with maple trees and there is a pear and cherry tree in the front yard. There are two weeping willow trees in the pasture (at either end of the future sand ring site). The backyard has 3 mature apple trees and a fourth that is still growing. There is asparagus, rhubbarb and strawberry plants in the backyard and also a gorgeous view of the property. You'll find wild raspberries, some blueberries and crab apple trees throughout the property.
There is a circular driveway to make it easier to maneuver horse trailers and farm equipment.
A small creek runs through the property from the spring where there are water troughs set up for the animals for year-round watering.
