Property Description
Welcome to the farm! Here, at 5067 Hopkins Cemetery Rd, you can appreciate all the wonders of nature and the freedom of wide open spaces. This 16.88 acre farm includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, detached 2 car garage, large cattle barn with extensions and 90' x 65 ' concrete stock yard, 90' by 50' pole building for large farm equipment storage, small grain silo, tool shed and over 10 -12 acres of open fields for cultivation. There is electrical power in the barn, large pole building and garage. Until this year, fields have been leased and cultivated with regular crop rotations of corn, soybean, barley, sorghum, etc. The house sits up on the hill at the front of the property and provides for a scenic overview of the land and structures. Many recent improvements have made this a charming, farmhouse. The country kitchen is virtually new from floor to ceiling. The refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave/convention oven were recently replaced and the kitchen is a dream to cook in, with plenty of counter space for the many cooks in the house and enough storage for all the pots, pans, and gadgets any gourmet chef could ever desire. For the technology proficient, the house has high speed internet access - great for home office or remote learning. Other improvements include upgraded electrical service, new AC unit & air handler, blown-in insulation in the attic and insulation panels in storage eaves, double lined chimney flue to accommodate the wood stove, and a new deep well (325') and pump for a clean refreshing water supply. When you explore the grounds you will find many different fruit trees and bushes as well as an asparagus bed to enjoy. In the evening, relax by the fire pit and indulge in some s'mores and take in the beauty of the evening sky - watch shooting stars cross the skies and observe the entire Milky Way!
