Exceptional outbuildings! Gorgeous modern farmhouse! Panoramic views of pure country! In this rural quietness, you breathe freedom and harvest life's simplest joys. Embrace this 3-acre agricultural zoned homestead that is more than a 2,601 sq. ft. residence; it is a meticulously maintained retreat designed for tranquility. The property features a 54'x90' Morton building with asphalt/concrete flooring and a 23' wide, 13' tall overhead power door. The 56'x45' shop features a two-zone radiant in-floor heating system, a half bathroom, and overhead power doors measuring 18'x11' and 10'x11'! This farm conveniently includes two 1000-gallon propane tanks and two 500-gallon fuel tanks. A rustic stone fireplace with glowing gas logs sets a feel-good vibe as you enter this updated cozy home. Hardwood flooring, arched openings, appealing lighting and newer Marvin windows and doors add ambiance and comfortability. A farm-style suspended light fixture completes the spacious dining room. The luxurious kitchen is a favorite gathering space, highlighting pearly white cabinetry with complimentary earth-tone cabinetry. Beautiful granite countertops, subway tiled backsplash, breakfast bar with eye-catching black pendant lighting, wall-to-wall coffee or wine bar with prep sink framed by two pantries will surprise and delight you! Black cabinetry hardware, soft close and pullout drawers, stainless steel Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, and convection oven/range is a chef's dream. A sun-drenched breakfast nook is a morning sanctuary displaying windows and skylights, with a two-story vaulted ceiling and upper loft view. Take in the breathtaking country views from the sunroom featuring a beamed vaulted ceiling, skylights, and an architectural, light-filled Marvin atrium entrance. Offering access to the newer Timber Tech deck and attached garage, you will find this sunroom can be a flex space for a sunroom, mudroom, or office... you decide! Decorative area rug has plywood underneath, covering what was a prior recessed hot tub cavity. There is a first level shared full bathroom with a pretty white vanity, brush nickel fixtures, Kohler toilet, and Samsung front load washer and dryer with open shelving. Step into the serene owner's oasis, hosting a primary bedroom with a stunning spa-like private bathroom and walk-in closet. Walk-in gray subway tiled shower offers built in niches and glass doors. Rustic and timeless wood vanity, quartz top, two undermount sinks, and complimenting soft gold round mirrors reflect elegance. Large light-colored tiled flooring, up-down window shades, and Kohler toilet complete this bespoke bath suite. Abundant recessed lighting, three-wide viewing windows, newer carpeting, farm-style double doors and walk-in closet offering custom shelving and pull-out drawers, complete this first level owner's suite. The ornate wooded staircase leads you to the second level open landing with a bonus closet. Upstairs you will find what feels like a true retreat, complete with three bedrooms and its own private half bath - no middle-of-the-night trips downstairs required. One of the standout features is a bedroom with a soothing gray color scheme, open linen shelving, ceiling-light fan, huge closet, and French doors opening to a beamed vaulted loft area. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and four skylights create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection while overlooking the lower kitchen dining area. A relaxing reading nook, in-home office, or art studio allows you to break up your workday or spark inspiration and find an ideal setting for quiet moments. SolarEdge panels "owned" by the seller supply a favorable amount of this property's electrical usage. Sellers' average electrical cost is only $62.00 per month for the entire farm! "Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a hobby farm, or an exciting business venture, this stellar farmhouse & its spectacular outbuildings are ready to welcome you home. Your dream country life starts here!"
