Located in the scenic countryside of Madison County, just 3 miles north of Highway 92 and approximately 2 miles east of Earlham Road, this exceptional 57.36± acre farmstead presents a rare opportunity to own a well-improved rural property in the highly desirable Earlham School District. Combining a beautiful log home, functional livestock facilities, productive pasture, and North River frontage, this property offers the ideal balance of country living and working land.

At the heart of the farm sits a charming two-story log cabin home built in 1996, offering approximately 2,282 square feet of living space with 2 bathrooms. The home captures the warmth and character of classic log construction while providing comfortable, spacious living with views overlooking the farm’s improvements and surrounding countryside. It serves as the perfect hub for both everyday living and managing the property.

The farmstead is exceptionally well-equipped for livestock or hobby farm operations with several high-quality outbuildings designed for efficiency and versatility. A 36’ x 46’ steel utility building, noted by the assessor as a horse barn, features a 12’ x 46’ lean-to providing additional covered space for livestock or equipment. A 44’ x 150’ livestock building, currently set up with a feeding system, offers substantial capacity and flexibility for sheep, swine, or other livestock enterprises. Complementing these improvements is a 54’ x 90’ metal pole building that provides excellent workshop space along with ample room for equipment storage and farm operations.

Approximately 26 acres of open ground are currently established in pasture and have recently been utilized for grazing. These acres offer outstanding versatility for a variety of agricultural or recreational uses, including continued pasture rotation, hay production, or the establishment of wildlife food plots. The pasture is divided into multiple fenced grazing paddocks secured with barbed wire fencing, allowing for efficient livestock management and rotational grazing practices.

Enhancing the natural beauty of the property, the North River forms the southern boundary, providing scenic character, wildlife habitat, and a peaceful natural backdrop. A pond is also located on the property and offers potential for restoration or enhancement as a water feature for livestock, recreation, or wildlife.

Adding significant value to the offering, the sellers are including an impressive lineup of equipment designed to support the operation and maintenance of the farm. Included in the sale is a John Deere 5075E tractor with a 520M loader, along with several attachments including an RC10M multi-spindle rotary cutter, MDS 5202G double tine bale stabber, Land Pride grading scraper, and a FIMCO 110-gallon three-point sprayer. A Kubota RTV 1100C side-by-side equipped with a Boss snow plow is also included.
