Rolling hills and vast pastures grace the property for a highland like topography that is simply breathtaking. LAND: The farm shines with an elevation change of 300 feet that creates a highland like experience delivering vista views that are simply breathtaking. The main entrance and approach to the property is spectacular with white fences and landscaped trees leading you to the farmhouse and the rolling hills and fields. Notable is the dramatic landscape rarely found in such a well maintained state. It is obvious the property is in the care of a true land steward, and pride of ownership abounds in the details of the landscaping, tendering and gardening. The eastern portion of the farm rises up to higher pastures and a mixed hardwood forest with a composition of maple, oak, cherry and is the haven for a large population of deer and turkey. Three ponds are located on the farm each stocked with different species of fish. A bass pond, a catfish pond and a Koy pond are here for family fun. The Knights creek stream also winds through the south edge of the property close to the farm house for additional fun and recreation.

The loft is a bunkhouse for several guests, while the lower level is an additional space for entertaining with a complete bar and wood stove. Used as a lodge for deer season, the guest house would be an excellent opportunity or residence for in-laws.

Concrete floors, electricity, water, a bathroom, and a fully accented meat/deer processing center with a walk in cooler are all part of this well planed outbuilding.
