Description

Rare opportunity to own approximately 40 acres of prime agricultural land with established infrastructure and a proven history of diverse use. This expansive property offers a mix of open farmland, orchards, and multiple agricultural buildings, creating flexibility for continued farming operations, ag-based business ventures, or future development opportunities (subject to township approval). The land has previously supported a seasonal haunted house attraction, demonstrating its capacity for large-scale events, parking, and visitor traffic, while still maintaining its agricultural integrity. A commercial-grade parking area of approximately 3 acres with crushed asphalt and a commercial driveway provides valuable functionality not often found with agricultural properties. Improvements include multiple barns and outbuildings of varying sizes and construction dates, offering options for equipment storage, livestock, workshops, or ag-related operations.

Supplements: Several barns feature cement floors and tall sidewalls, adding to their usability and longevity. They are established orchards, including trellised sections, with a variety of apple trees such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Empire, Jonathan, Rome, and Jonagold, supporting continued agricultural production or agri-tourism potential. With its size, existing infrastructure, and history of both agricultural and event use, this property presents a unique opportunity for farmers, investors, or entrepreneurs seeking land with scale, versatility, and long-term potential. In addition to the expansive acreage, the property includes a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2 full bathroom residence offering a practical and comfortable layout. The home features an open and functional floorplan with defined living, dining, and kitchen spaces, thoughtfully arranged across two levels. Major 2019 renovation and recent updates include new windows, new siding, and new insulation, enhancing both efficiency and curb appeal. The kitchen features quartz countertops and flows seamlessly into the main living areas, while hardwood flooring adds warmth in select areas of the home. Outdoor living is extended with a 12x12 deck, providing a convenient space to enjoy views of the surrounding property.
