There are 2 40x60 machinery sheds, part of one of which is used for a farm shop. Three bunker silos occupy a 90x150 space. There is also a tennis/basketball court, which not many (heck, NO other farms) farms have.
There are 4 homes available at this location. The main home is large home, 10 rooms, 5 of them bedrooms + 2 full baths. It has a new roof, an old wood/steam furnace and is set up in such a way that it could be used as a 2 family. The second home is 3 bedroom, 2 baths with an attached garage and also has a new roof. Both homes are in fair condition, are used as residences, and both have their own dug wells. Additionally, there is a double wide on the property. They dont own that home, but do own the land, septic and water there. That can give a new owner some rental income or he could ask that it be removed and then install his own home there.
Available for additional money is a large Victorian on 6 acres with a small barn and a large older machinery shed. It is in nice condition and would make a good owners home.
