Imagine finding your ideal retreat home, nestled on approx 55+/- acres, just a mere 10 minutes or less from Springfield's heart. Accessible via paved Farm Road 94, a flat lane guides you to this haven. Privacy and peace are guaranteed by a gated entrance and secluded drive. Upon arrival, you're welcomed by mature pine trees, abundant with pinecones. 23+/- acres of open land offer potential for hay cutting or livestock grazing. A longstanding spring near the residence has flowed for years, though its permanence is not assured. The terrain is presentable and navigable by pickup or SUV. The main residence spans an estimated 1534+/-sqft. The home includes a screened-in porch, alongside a vast open deck at the primary entrance. Majestic, tall wooden double doors lead into a family room, adorned with a rock fireplace and expansive windows for wildlife observation. Exposed Beams throughout, hardwood flooring dominates the main living spaces, complemented by parquet designs in the kitchen and bathroom. The master suite boasts floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a generous walk-in closet. An additional living space is readily convertible into a second bedroom, leaving plenty of room for a living area or den. The practical kitchen, illuminated by a skylight, features an electric stovetop and dual ovens, with butcher block countertops and a marble inset for warm cookware. The extra-tall carport that could transform into an enclosed two-car garage leads to a separate one-room 435+/-sqft apartment/guest house, complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and independent heating and cooling systems. Across the driveway lies the second house, approximately 1200+/- sqft, with an inviting large deck, one bedroom, and two baths. The second bath adjoins a room that could be turned into another bedroom. Additional structures include a two-car detached garage, a 2-level small barn, and a third cabin without utilities or fixtures. The possibilities are endless for this beautiful property.
