Beautiful farm and incredible investment opportunity: 70+/- gently rolling acres of prime pasture, with THREE HOUSES, pond, watering system, 56'x60' livestock barn, and more just outside the quaint town of Rural Retreat. A myriad of options exist for the use of this property, ranging from owning a turn-key farm operation and living in the well-crafted 1920's brick farm house (even the small, well-curated, registered Polled Hereford cattle herd is available for additional consideration), to residential development as the land is already subdivided (see plat), with 36 road frontage lots and five 7-17 acre mini-farms. One of the livestock barns features cattle-working facilities and scales. In addition, the property also includes an equipment shed and various other barns and outbuildings. See Addendum for descriptions of the houses. Act soon; this property will be offered as a whole for a limited time only before the various elements are repackaged and offered individually.
