Nestled in the breathtaking rolling farm country just northwest of West Branch, this exceptional 30± acre property offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living, premier hunting, and a beautifully maintained home. The spacious two-story residence with a walkout basement sits atop a scenic hill, overlooking picturesque woodlands, farmland, and a winding trout stream that borders the eastern property line. The creek not only provides fishing and year-round beauty, but also serves as a natural travel corridor for the area's thriving deer population. This property has produced quality bucks for years and offers the kind of habitat that gives hunters confidence every season. Deer, turkey, bear and other wildlife flourish among the fertile soils, native grasses, mature oaks, cedars, maples, and pines, while thick interior cover meets hundreds of acres of surrounding agricultural fields to create exceptional habitat. A beautiful artesian-fed pond with a flowing well remains cool for summertime swimming while supporting impressive largemouth bass and bluegill fishing. A charming repurposed red barn stands proudly along the road, preserving the property's agricultural heritage while providing valuable storage. An additional metal outbuilding and an immaculate heated pole barn offer abundant space for equipment, workshops, and hobbies. The pole barn is truly a standout, featuring power, lighting, work areas, and a custom-built game processing facility complete with cleaning stations, butcher tables, hanging racks and a large walk-in cooler. The impressive concrete driveway and approach lead to the attached two-car garage and an inviting home featuring an open floor plan, expansive front deck overlooking the pond, and peaceful country views in every direction. A unique patio crafted from reclaimed clay silo tile adds timeless character, while the partially finished walkout basement offers excellent potential for additional living space or bedrooms. Rarely does a property combine beauty, recreation, functionality, and convenience so effortlessly. This is a truly special place where you can enjoy quiet country living without sacrificing access to the amenities of West Branch.
