Description

Nestled on a quiet road in the countryside of Lower Alloways Creek (Salem mailing address) this one-of-a kind, turn-key, 6-acre farmette with unbeatable taxes of only $2,366 per year awaits a new name... Have yours picked out? Enjoy your morning brew on the front porch as the sun is rising across the open fields. Create unique "farm-fresh" meals, with produce you grew, in the spacious kitchen complete with custom cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, Gaggenau oven, pellet stove, and wood-burning fireplace. The versatile floor plan with random plank and pine flooring throughout takes you back to a simpler time, and this home was rebuilt from the studs out around 2003. Outside, the vintage 22'W x 24'L barn with loft could be used for your horses, goats or sheep; or put a big window on the back of the loft and repurpose it as a kid's playroom, yoga loft, or crafting area- you decide. The huge 40'W x 64'L x 12'H pole barn has heat and A/C, and also 14'W overhangs to store equipment under. Inside it also has a 21'W x 32'L insulated area that was previously used as a gym. Watch all your favorite sports with friends in your own Saloon complete with heat, A/C, and a custom '68 Chevrolet pick-up bed speed rail with space for the big screen TV on top. A solar panel lease of $168 per month will keep your electric bills low! The 5-acre high tensile, fenced-in field includes 2 open run-ins: a large 16.5' x 34' wide that could easily be split in smaller sections or closed in if you choose; and a 10' x 16' wide for your smaller animals. There is also another shed with porch for your gardening or lawn care tools. Both the house and the pole barn have 3-year old HVAC systems with Bluetooth control. The siding was replaced 3 years ago with ultra-durable James Hardie Plank. The septic has been inspected and will be certified for the new owner. 10 minutes to the Stow Creek boat ramp and plenty of other areas closeby to satisfy your nature, hiking, fishing, kayaking, and camping needs make this an easy decision. This property is NOT Farmland Assessed but could be if you want even cheaper taxes. Be sure to check out the 3D Virtual Tour. See it today!
