Historic 1850 pioneer home on 20+/-acres. 2-bedrooms, one-bath, modern kitchen with handcrafted woodwork. Large deck with sunset mountain views. This rustic 2-story home features its original hardwood floors and shiplap interior walls, energy-efficient Pella windows, and a modern kitchen with black walnut counters and a ceramic tile floor. The farm, with 15 +/- acres of pasture and 5 +/- acres of mixed hardwoods, includes a spring-fed pond, fruit trees, berry patches, a high tunnel, a firepit, and a tree fort. 20 minutes from Union and Peterstown.

A scenic drive on winding country roads from the Monroe County seat of Union leads to this classic homestead with views of 5 mountains. Partly rustic, partly modernized (the heating system includes two woodstoves as well as solar panels), the home lends itself to simple, inexpensive country living with no wa...

Built as a 4-room home in 1850, with a kitchen added in 1900 and recently contemporized, this solidly-built structure has stood the test of time.

The front entry opens to an entry hall with the living room on the right, an office/den and bathroom on the left, and the kitchen and deck in the rear. A central stairway leads to the two upstairs bedrooms. The living room features a stone fireplace with a woodstove, shiplap walls, a built-in desk, and a ceiling fan. The office/den also has a stone fireplace with a wood stove and a ceiling fan.

The kitchen, undisputedly the most updated room in the home, has attractive ceramic tile flooring, countertops, and a wine-rack crafted from local black walnut trees, a table of local ash with a built-in maple bench, and pantry and laundry closet doors crafted from reclaimed local poplar. The central island incorporates a large farmhouse sink. Appliances include a Frigidaire refrigerator with an ice maker, a Five Star gas range with 4 burners and a griddle, and a wall-mounted Samsung microwave. There is plumbing for easy hookup of a dishwasher. The kitchen includes a pantry with deep shelves and a laundry closet that opens to reveal a Samsung front-loading washer and dryer. The kitchen exits to a 10 x 20-foot rear deck with views to the west and north of the property, pond and distant mountains.

The bathroom has a tiled shower tub, a tile floor, a porcelain sink set in a marble countertop, and reclaimed barn wood shelves.

Two upper-level bedrooms are similar in size and have the original hardwood flooring.

The extensive acreage includes multiple apple trees, as well as strawberry plants and raspberry and blueberry bushes, and a high tunnel for gardening. A nearby firepit beckons on cool summer evenings.

A unique property, this home, and farm are ideally suited for a simple, back-to-the-earth lifestyle on a quiet country road, surrounded by nature.
