You will find lots of buildings, many of them newer. Newest is the home, stick-built, 1300ft2, on a full dry basement. It has an open floor plan with kitchen/dining room/living room/laundry/office in one huge room. There is also 1.5 baths and 2 bedrooms. It is well-insulated and used little (propane) fuel. It and the milkhouse can be heated by an outdoor wood furnace as well.

There are two mobile homes (14x60 and 14x62), older and rented out for additional income. They use the farms water but have their own septics and power. One has a new furnace.

There is a newer 60 cow freestall (50x100 - room for up to 50 more), a large feeding barn, a newer 36x130 covered barnyard. Most of the young stock is in a newer 60x128 pack barn that holds 75. There is also a 30x70 solar barn for calves. Surplus youngstock can be housed in the old heifer barn (poor condition). Thue freestalls and the heifer facility feel manure into a cement 60z120 holding tank for manure storage.

Milking is done in a double 6 flat parlour, housed in the original dairy barn (which was once a 90 cow facility). The extra space there is used for a hospital area. It has overhead hay storage. And has 2 silos, both 24x60. There is a 1500g bulk milk tank. There are 2 tunnel ventilation fans.

There are a variety of smaller outbuildings: a roadside stand (permitted), a 2 car garage with a walk-in cooler (needs compressor), an old 25x50 machinery barn; another is 30x93. And there are 3 free-standing metal grain bins (2 at 7 tons and one at 1.5 tons).

This is a farm dressed in its work clothes. It works every day. Do not expect fancy landscaping and immaculate barns. It enjoys an AgriMark market. The base can be purchased additionally. The taxes are $10000 and the price has been dropped to $699,900. They've worked long and hard; lets help these folks retire.
