Description

THIS IS A FIXER UPPER! Discover the charm of yesteryear with this 50-year old traditional farm home set on 15.13 beautifully manicured acres. This two-story residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (plus an extra shower), making it an ideal project for those looking to create their dream farmstead. The upstairs features two spacious bedrooms, while the lower level offers two additional bedrooms, providing ample space for family and guests. There is also a small "cellar" that could be used for additional storage, your wine collection or simply used as a storm shelter! With a lot of TLC this property has incredible potential as a working farm - perfect for cattle, horses or other livestock - it even includes a barn and two open pole storage areas. This property also includes a stocked pond with catfish & bass - fish off the dock for your relaxation at the end of the day! An exciting opportunity awaits with the buyer holding first right of refusal on an adjacent 4.759-acre parcel, offering even more space to expand or develop. Located in the heart of the beloved "Sweetwater" community, this property combines rural tranquility with the potential for a personal farm retreat. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this idyllic setting - YOUR country living dream begins here!
