Property description
DRAMATIC PRICE DROP! This is an amazing property. 5.69 Acres with a 1-2 bedroom beautifully decorated cottage and another flexible building that can be a shop and guest house, or shop and horse stable. This heavily wood property has walking/riding trails that lead to pasture and pond belonging to the neighbor. The house built in 1997 has been renovated and a porch/family room added. The grounds are landscaped with vegetable and flower gardens and two charming chicken houses. 1 for the roosters and 1 for the hens. The property sits on what was the small town of Melugin's Grove and the plat shows the lots as they once existed. This would be an ideal get away spot, or a home for someone who wants to be close to amenities, but be in the woods (many black walnuts!.) The outbuilding was at one time a stable for two horses and can be returned to that use. The current owner started to convert it to a guest house and most of the work has been done. Quiet, secluded, laid back living.
