You will have to see the property to appreciate all the amenities and features this property has to offer. Whether it be a full-time home with rental income or related living, a weekend retreat, a getaway property or a place to pursue your hobbies, automotive, the outdoor space, the grounds and woods, there is so much to offer. Hunting, fishing, swimming, biking, hiking, camping, trail or horseback riding are all possibilities in this outdoor paradise. The opportunities to enjoy country living at its finest are in a large, updated home with a finished walk-out basement and a large barn with additional living space. The Land Between Two Ponds is a spacious 4400 Sq Ft custom-raised ranch built in 1978. The well-maintained and updated home has a natural stone and siding exterior and is positioned just about in the center of the over 19 acres. Sitting between the two 12 to 15-foot deep, fully stocked ponds, you have beautiful water views from just about anywhere in the house. There is plenty of space with a total of 7 large bedrooms and 4 full baths. On the main floor is the eat-in kitchen/dining area with sliding glass patio doors that go out to the massive 70-foot X 12-foot deck overlooking the pond and woods. A large double-sided natural stone woodburning fireplace separates the kitchen and living room. Beautiful 6-panel solid wood doors plus wood trim throughout the home fit well with the home’s country location and interior styling. You’ll enjoy sitting in the living room by the fire or looking out the large bay window at the front yard pond. The big kitchen offers a nice blend of country and contemporary conveniences. Recent updates include high-quality stainless-steel appliances, a six-burner built-in gas cooktop, a range hood, double ovens, a big refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Custom solid wood cabinets, plenty of solid surface counter tops, a kitchen island, counter seating, and natural stone tile flooring will make meal prep and dinner time more enjoyable. Anderson Sliding Doors and Windows allow a lot of natural light, great pond views, and easy access to grilling or outdoor dining on the back deck. The main floor primary bedroom has its own large bath plus private access to the back deck. The home also shows some of its cool and quirky 1970’s design with the fully functional Nutone intercom and audio system, which provides surprisingly good sound for music or internal communication. Another cool feature is the custom-built spiral stairs, which are flush to the floor and then curve down to the fully finished, walk-out lower level. Here is a big TV/Game area with another woodburning fireplace, pup seating and a fun and functional finished bar area. What a great place to hang out with friends or family, watch a movie or the Notre Dame game or just chill out and relax. There are 3 more bedrooms or rooms that can be used for other things like the fitness, tanning or office/storage space as they are used for now. A large full bath with tile flooring, a separate shower, a Jacuzzi tub and big vanity make for a spa-like experience after a workout or after spending the day in your outdoor retreat. Large windows and more sliding glass doors flood the lower level with natural light and lead out to a concrete patio or out to the backyard and second pond. Another spacious room serves as the laundry room w/ kitchenette for holiday cooking, entertaining or gameday get-togethers. An extra-large attached 2-car garage keeps you and your vehicles warm and dry and has a pull-down for additional storage in the attic area. You may not need all that extra space because one of the property’s best features is the separate, fully finished barn with room for an additional 3 cars, boats, bikes, UTVs or whatever toys or collection you might want. With 12 ft doors, a finished office/workshop with ac and heat, a kitchen, a walk-in cooler, and a full bath, this place is equipped for large parties, weddings, fish fry’s or opening day of deer season. It may also be a perfect spot for crafting, hobbies, or a home-based business. Above the shop and office is more fully finished living space and 2 more bedrooms which could house guests, extended family visits or related living. There is also a great walk-out balcony with a view of the woods, pond or to watch all the deer and other wildlife that use the property. All the outdoor opportunities and activities are only limited by your imagination and energy level. Owning a property like this may not only seem like a dream come true, but it might also feel like you are on vacation every day!
