Overview

Description

Reimagine and restore this beautiful piece of Berrien Township history! Nestled on 49 rolling acres, this longtime family-owned farm has been cherished for over 75 years and offers endless possibilities for farming, recreation, hunting, or your dream country retreat. The property features approximately 26 tillable acres, wooded areas ideal for wildlife, and a private pond perfect for fishing and enjoying peaceful country views. The former cattle farm includes two classic barns full of character and potential. The first barn offers old milking stalls on the lower level along with a large lean-to for storage. The second barn features a dirt floor, spacious hay loft, and additional lean-to space. The house offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an eat-in kitchen, spacious living room, and a cute enclosed front porch. The exterior-access partial walk-out basement includes an old shower and laundry area. Well replaced in 2005 and furnace approximately 2000.
