Land with Home for Sale in Rushville, Ohio

Six acres on paved McCafferty Road NE in Richland Township, Fairfield County, with a farmhouse, a four door garage, and a second outbuilding. Rushville sits two and a half miles up the road, Lancaster is 10.2 road miles, and downtown Columbus is about forty, so this is settled ground rather than raw acreage at the end of a gravel run. Rushville was laid out in 1808 on Zane's Trace and much of the village is a historic district on the National Register. The house holds its original flooring through the whole place. The dining room carries panelled wainscot and a wall of built in shelving. Doors, casing and window trim are dark stained wood that was never painted over. The kitchen has a center island, a full range, and a double sink under a window. The stairway is the piece that sells the house, a turned newel post with a dark handrail and a landing partway up. Upstairs there is a full bath tucked under the roof slope with built in linen storage beside it, and a second bath with a jetted tub under a skylight. A covered porch runs the front and looks out over the field. County records list the dwelling at 1,674 square feet of living area, nine rooms, two bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, built in 1900 and remodeled in 1992, with central heat and air and a crawl space. The garage is the part most buyers underestimate. Four overhead doors across two separate stalls, poured concrete, shop lighting overhead, its own heat, and a staircase to a full second level of storage, which makes it a working shop rather than somewhere to park. A second building sits behind it with its own entry door and its own porch. Electric and rural water are both at the road and the frontage is paved, so nothing has to be run in or dug. All mineral rights transfer with the property. The ground is pasture and hay with woods behind it, enough to fence and run a few animals on or to hunt out the back of. The schools are Fairfield Union Local, with Rushville Middle School in the village and the high school 4.7 road miles out. This sale is the house tract. Additional acreage behind it becomes available once the timber is cut, and the driveway is shared with the buyer of that ground.
