 Welcome home to your small farm dream! If you've driven by the farm lately you may have noticed that there's a "for sale" sign out front, and for followers of our blog and social media pages that should come as no surprise. If you've ever driven by our farm and thought to yourself, "I would love to have a farm like that", or you've been following our story but aren't local and like the idea of moving to a farm in Ohio, now is your chance! We put a lot of work into the farm and house in the past 6 years so it's ready for new owners to move in and embark on their own farming adventure! Will those new owners be you?

This is for our benefit as well as yours. 3 bed ● 1 bath ● 1,335 sqft ● 17+ acres ● $259,900 We occasionally hear someone say that our house is "too small" based on square footage, but once you step inside you realize that our house has an open floor plan and plenty of space. Is our cottage-style farm house a "McMansion"? Of course not! If that's what you're looking for you're in the wrong place. Our "little" house is plenty big enough for a small family or a couple like us. The trend in homes today is toward smaller houses - tiny even - for good reason. You have the space you need to live and less space to clean and heat or cool. Who needs a gigantic house with unnecessary rooms when you can go outside and enjoy 8 acres of woods and a perennial stream, a wrap-around deck, an outdoor seating area and fire pit, or animals out in your pastures? Here are the Individual Room Dimensions (ft2):
The first floor bedrooms have double-doored closets and the second floor bedroom has a walk-in closet. Kitchen and bath cabinets, a linen closet, and coat nook provide plenty of additional storage space in the living area. Not included in the square footage of the house is the 850 ft2 unfinished basement with three separate rooms that are clean, dry, well-lit, and fully functional. The furnace, hot water heater, and laundry area are in the main part of the basement, and what used to be a garage is now a workshop with walk-out access to the backyard. We've put in loads of shelving and workbenches that we plan to leave for the new owners that provide all the space you need for home storage and personal projects. If you're still looking for something "big", look no further than our custom built 36x64 (2,304 ft2) pole barn with 12' overhangs on three sides (total footprint 60x76)! Add to that two chicken coops, two loafing sheds, and a greenhouse and you've got all the space you need for small farm living! A farm property like ours is enjoyed and utilized as a whole, and cannot be summed up in one number like a house in a neighborhood in Anywhere, USA. House, Farm, and Property Slideshow PROPERTY LOCATION Located less than a mile from the CJ Brown Reservoir and Buck Creek State Park! Only 5 minutes away from I-70 and close to the Clark County Farigrounds. Also close enough to town to run to the store for a gallon of milk, but still far enough away to enjoy country living!

We won't need our farm equipment where we're going so it's all negotiable! This includes our John Deere 2320 tractor with bucket, John Deere riding mower, various gas powered farm and property maintenance equipment, beekeeping supplies, fencing, various hand tools, and more! Make us an offer! We're motivated to sell. If we don't like it we'll counter but you'll never know unless you try!
