A garden to tend, boots by the back door, and supper after a day spent outside. This is the kind of place that brings you back to a simpler way of living. Set on 9.9 acres behind a gated entrance, this 1958 farmhouse pairs country living with the warmth and character of an older home. Hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove walls, solid wood cabinets, and a wood-burning fireplace give the interior a welcoming, lived-in charm. Three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and one half bathroom provide room to settle in, while the mudroom offers a practical place for muddy boots, garden tools, and the day’s dirt. Updated electrical and plumbing bring everyday improvements to the home’s vintage character. Outside, big old trees and fruit trees make a fitting backdrop for the slow living you’ve been dreaming about. Nearly 10 acres offer room for a vegetable garden, farm animals, and space to enjoy being outside. Tend the fruit trees, hang a clothesline, or spend an afternoon planning your own small homestead. For those searching for a farmhouse with acreage, room to garden, and a country home with character, there’s plenty here to build a life around. Pull on your boots, put down roots, and make time for the things you’ve been meaning to slow down and enjoy. One or more photos have been virtually enhanced.
