“Charming Century Farmhouse on 26 Acres with Free Gas, Great Room & 4+ Car Pole Barn”
Long Description:
Step into timeless country charm with this beautiful century farmhouse set on 26 picturesque acres in Hartford Township, offering the perfect blend of historic character, spacious living, and modern convenience. With 846 feet of road frontage, free gas (as long as adjacent wells produce), and a 30×48 pole barn with loft space, this property is ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle with room to grow, create, and enjoy the great outdoors.
The home greets you with a classic wrap-around front porch, perfect for relaxing with morning coffee or evening sunsets. Inside, a welcoming center hall entry leads to thoughtfully designed spaces, including 4 bedrooms and 1 full, updated bathroom. The first-floor bedroom is currently used as a home office, offering flexibility for today’s needs.
One of the standout features of the home is the 30×20 Great Room, showcasing soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a cozy floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves, a stone planter, and a loft reading nook—the ultimate cozy and inviting space for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Elegant glass French doors add charm and function.
The home also includes a formal dining room and sitting room with a decorative (non-functioning) fireplace that adds a touch of old-world ambiance. The knotty pine kitchen features a built-in breakfast nook, newer LVT flooring, and generous storage, blending rustic warmth with practical updates. A glass-panel door leads to the mudroom, complete with a dryer hookup and modern finishes.
Upstairs, the main staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms, all offering ample closet space and original farmhouse character. Recent updates include a 3-year-old furnace, a 5-year-old well pump, and a roof estimated to be approximately 15 years old.
The pole barn, built in 2011, includes a loft area and space for 4+ vehicles or equipment, making it ideal for hobby farming, workshops, or storage. A unique feature is the automatic gas regulator, which switches to natural gas if the well stops producing and can be manually reset to well gas at the regulator.
Located in the Joseph Badger School District, with a Fowler mailing address, this home offers both convenience and countryside appeal. Whether you’re dreaming of a hobby farm, family homestead, or simply a peaceful retreat with room to roam, this “as-is” sale presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of country history with modern advantages.
