A Legacy Property with Rare Opportunity. Whether the vision is restoration, expansion, or future redevelopment, the land itself is the irreplaceable asset. Set on approximately 80 acres just minutes from Watertown, this rare property offers expansive countryside, privacy, income potential, and long-term value.
The balance of the acreage includes 4 acres of wooded area, approx 27.5 acres of wetland, supporting wildlife and natural beauty, approximately 1 acre of maintained yard surrounding the home, and abundant natural habitat. 40 acres of prime hunting and wildlife land, rich with deer, birds, and natural cover. The tillable acreage 37.5 acres of tillable land, currently farmed annually is bordered by a roughly 20-foot-wide cut hay path that hat loops the entire property providing access around the property, offering flexibility for agricultural, recreational, — ideal for horses, side-by-sides, four-wheelers, walking trails, or simply enjoying the land at your own pace. The land offers ample space for additional outbuildings or future development, including the potential to build a new residence, subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals.
The residence was originally built in the 1930s and relocated to the property in 1982. An addition completed in 1998 added a main-floor bedroom, the living room, the mudroom, and the attached garage. The home reflects its era upstairs with the bedroom, closets, and attic. The main floor plan is great, with a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Main-floor features a mudroom, foyer, kitchen, and an office desk. The primary bedroom on the main floor features a huge walk-in closet and a full bathroom. Kitchen with views of the yard and beautiful sunrises off the deck. The finished lower level was previously used for dog training and grooming, which is why the flooring was not installed.
Outdoor features include a circular driveway, an additional concrete parking pad suitable for trailers or equipment, and a deck added in 2024. Wildlife is prevalent throughout the property, and an original threshing machine near the creek remains, contributing to the property’s agricultural history.
Recent improvements include a new septic system in 2024 with an alarm and fiber internet availability.
Whether the vision is investment, recreation, or future development, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial amount of land in a convenient location where the true value lies in the acreage itself.
