Outside the 3-car detached garage is 30’ x 25’ and is steel framed with full concrete and sits just steps to the south of the residence. The yard space is perfect with one of the most beautiful Burr Oaks providing endless shade. Even the old stone wall stands strong along the front. To the south is the original 1910 red barn, 58’ x 48’, and it too has so many incredible details of the farm life that once was, from the rock wall to the hay and door track in the loft. The turnout pen to the south connects and runs through to the additional pens and working area. The 50’ x 52’ livestock barn has a squeeze chute and currently provides a covered area to work cattle and equipment storage. There are 3 auto waterers throughout the corral and pen area. The 60’ x 40’ shop to the north is ready for sidewall and is steel framed with 5 concrete floors throughout and is stubbed for plumbing. Continue to the south and find the newly built 150’ x 60’ hay barn that is post-framed with a dirt floor throughout. This barn could be utilized in many fashions, from hay storage to dry storage space and more. To the west is a fenced grazing area with an auto waterer and a separate north gate entrance.

The 15 +/- acres of tillable are currently planted to sorghum, used to feed out cattle, and a turnout for wintering. Armstrong Branch Creek wraps throughout the farm, splitting off in 3 directions, creating ideal pockets, funnels, and pinch points. Head south across the creek crossing to the southwest corner of the farm. Each time I am bumping off does and turkeys, and not to mention, the back half of the farm is a sanctuary for wildlife. There is a small tillable area of 4 +/- acres, which makes the most prime food plot. Pair that with the pond, creek, and native grass bedding area, and this is a hot spot! The 18 +/- acres of timber stand are made up of an impressive amount of Black Walnut, Burr Oak, Pin Oak, Cottonwood, and Sycamore, with Elm, Hackberry, Locust, and Osage Orange intermixed. Continue to the east along the trail across the creek and be amazed by the landscape change. Here are the remaining pockets of native grassland acres of 16 +/- acres combined and could be utilized for grazing or hay acres, along with prime deer bedding. From the southeast corner of the farm, you can see everything to the north and west as the elevation is over 100 feet higher here than any other place on the property. The waterline was extended back to this area as well, with the intent to set an additional auto waterer.

Whether you are looking to have a forever farm in the county to enjoy with a few 4-H animals, or to raise a herd, background, and winter, or to create an impressive hunting farm, the foundation is set and ready to take on the dream!
