If you’re into historic homes with character, this one’s a gem. Parts of the house go all the way back to the mid-1800s, and I’m loving the original plank flooring and that old wallpaper — it’s got so much charm. Plus, there’s a library packed with built-in bookcases, which is just awesome.

The home feels bright and inviting, especially with that big kitchen and the family room that opens right into a greenhouse. Seriously, having a greenhouse attached to your house? That’s a dream for anyone serious about gardening. Speaking of which, the established garden is a huge bonus — no waiting around for plants to take off. There’s also a huge patio just outside, perfect for outdoor meals or relaxing with friends.

For anyone wanting livestock, this place is already set up for animals of all sizes. There’s a two-story barn with horse stalls, a tack room, fenced pastures, and even dedicated chicken and quail coops. It’s great to see those kinds of details already in place.

That said, it looks like the trees are starting to take over a bit. Clearing some growth from the pastures and ponds would go a long way in reclaiming usable space. Still, with two ponds and plenty of nature to enjoy, this property has a lot of peaceful charm. Oh, and there’s a whole-home generator, which means you won’t be left in the dark during winter storms.

If you’re looking for a working farm with a ton of character and plenty of potential, this spot has a lot to offer — especially if you’re drawn to historic homes with personality.
