Property information sourced from Realtor.com on April 1, 2025. Small Farm Explorer is not a real estate agency and does not represent this property.

This 8-acre farmette is a charming little slice of country life. The property boundaries on the map take a bit of interpretation, but from what I can tell, the house and a portion of the surrounding fields have been sectioned off to make this homestead. If you’re looking for a place with some infrastructure but still plenty of room to shape it into your own, this could be the one.

The only outbuilding on the property is a workshop/garage. It has a ton of natural light, which makes it a great space for projects, storage, or even a future barn conversion. But beyond that, you’ll need to plan for fencing, garden space, and animal shelters if you want to turn this into a working farm.

Inside, the house is lovely and welcoming. The kitchen is big and airy, opening up into a cozy living space where a propane stove with a brick surround serves as the focal point. The dark cabinets in the kitchen could be a bit heavy in some spaces, but since the area is open and bright, it works. There is wallpaper throughout the house that, depending on your taste, is either full of charm or something you’ll be peeling off ASAP.

With two bedrooms and one bath, this isn’t a huge home, but it’s efficient. The first-floor laundry is a nice touch, and the walkout basement gives you options for storage or expansion. And let’s not forget that the back deck looks out over wide open fields making it the perfect peaceful morning coffee spot.

Bottom line: this place is a great starting point. It has the land, a solid house, and one great outbuilding, but you’ll need to build out the rest of the infrastructure to fit your farm vision. If you’re up for the challenge, this could be a fantastic little homestead.
