The farm highlights include a New Windmill to be completed to live off-grid with your own clean energy source. 25 Organic tillable acres currently in hay production for horses, and livestock. If becoming organically "Certified" is important, this process will be a breeze as no pesticides or herbicides have been used on the field in 30+ years. There are multiple outbuildings totaling approx. 17,500 Sq Ft of which 3 buildings have their own septic tank, and a 4th septic tank has been installed in preparation for a future building. The outbuildings include: Workshop (30x36): Heated, with the 7th bathroom on the farm (toilet and shower), 3rd laundry with wash tub, hot water outlets, concrete floors, and robust power for tools or equipment.
