Property description
This property provides something for everyone! Premium alfalfa fields, row crop acreage, a racetrack, a beautiful home with outbuildings, and a new 72' x 96' horse barn with stalls make this a truly diverse offering. The home provides 3,288 sq ft of living space across two stories. Built in 2002 with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a second full kitchen on the main floor, this home has everything a large family could enjoy. Outside, a large two-story barn features water access and 5 horse stalls, along with a 48'x60' shop with an office and solar panels providing power for the house and shop. The backyard creates a beautiful and relaxing environment shaded by mature trees with plenty of space for a garden.
Separate from the main homestead is a large 72' x 96' horse barn built in 2022, featuring 21 horse stalls with rubber mats, a wash stall, and an office space with power. The barn receives water from the main well. Several small paddocks line the road frontage, with expansive pasture space stretching behind the barns. The hay ground has been maintained and cultivated for many years, producing a premium grass-alfalfa blend. Driveway access and soil tests have been completed, making these tracts excellent potential build sites as well.
On the north end of the property, approximately 27 acres of tillable ground are currently in row crop production. Buyers will have farming rights beginning in 2027. The south end of the property features a gravel racetrack - a one-of-a-kind recreational amenity. All tracts carry excellent road frontage along CR 43 and are ready for you to create your dream property. Do not miss your chance to own a piece of this diverse offering in southern DeKalb County!
