Description
Turnkey Homestead with Rich History and Modern UpgradesStep back in time with this charming 1911-built homestead, originally serving as a local post office. The property's history is rooted in craftsmanship; the original home, constructed with hand-split shaker shingles, was built in the north pasture and later moved by mules and logs to its current location, now the grey barn. The site of the original pitcher pump well remains intact, ready for reestablishment if desired. Today, an artesian well supplies the property with pure, great-tasting water.Perched on one of the highest elevations in Jackson County, this historic home seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern updates. The house has been freshly painted, a new metal roof has been installed, and new windows provide both energy efficiency and enhanced natural light. Inside, the home features a new bathroom with a clawfoot tub added in 2022, additional new bathrooms updated this year, a kitchen renovation completed in 2022, and new light fixtures throughout the house. You'll also find four fireplaces, a spacious kitchen with two pantries, and a unique piece of local history--a parlor mantle housing the original pipe organ from Red Hill Methodist Church, established in the early 1800s.The property includes two original barns--one red barn with an authentic corn crib--a new 30x36 pole barn, and a five-year-old 40x72 large shop with a bonus room 40x24 each perfect for entertaining or preserving your harvest. Additional structures include an arena shed with a roll-up door, a drop roof, a full-sized arena, and two large fenced pastures, each with its own freshwater supply.This small farm is an ideal setting for sustainable living, offering efficient land use, diverse income opportunities, a strong sense of community, and enhanced food security.
