Whether you are dreaming of a working farm, event venue, private equestrian estate, or simply a peaceful nature retreat, this home is just for you. The charming home, filled with shiplap, wainscotting, and unique touches is perched among the trees, giving it a peaceful, ''treehouse'' feel. Before entering, take notice of the natural beauty of the flagstone flooring of the covered front porch along with well-appointed yet simple to maintain landscaping.
