Once in a while a property comes along that is well suited for many uses and supremely suited for others. This farm was used as a draft horse training facility and has an impressive amount of features tailored for horse enthusiasts. With 50 cleared acres it offers well drained hay fields and a treed buffer including about 30 wooded acres. If new owners want to build anew there are prime sites and one could subdivide off 4 home lots without changing the complexion of the farm. The current home is 5 bedroom, 2400 sq ft with a steel roof, wood /pellet furnace and lots of character. Currently rented it can use some of your personal touch to really shine. The main horse barn is 4000 sq ft with 11 10' x 14' stalls plus wash bay, tack room, office, 1/2 bath and hay storage with conveyor and elevator above. It has water, power, generator panel and a wide center aisle. It is positioned ideally for easy access to the 13 paddocks with wood and electric fencing (9000 feet). The 4000 sq ft clear span equipment shed can hold 2 tractor trailers plus farm machinery. It is 90' deep! The storage barn is about 2400 sq ft with hay storage above. There are also several run-in sheds and a round pen. Located just 15 minutes from Brookfield and HWY 102 in the fertile Stewiacke River valley while still close to all amenities.
