The Hen and Bison Farm
Homesteader’s Dream
Nestled on the side of Kirtley mountain in Madison county, lies a farm ready for the next homesteader, farmer, or gardener. Wild game abounds on this nearly 20-acre property of cleared pasture and forest. A natural mountain spring has provided clear, cool water for animals for years. Spring and fall are sure to delight as mother nature paints a spectacular scene.
The three- bedroom, 2.5 bath home has recently been renovated and updated with beautiful woodwork and modern features. The fenced paddocks, 4-stall barn and tack room provide ample space for animals and equipment. Huge gardens, herb gardens, fruit trees, berry vines, and flower beds provide food for residents of all kinds! The workshop/garage boasts a large finished office room with an additional 378 square feet, wood beams, vaulted ceiling, and board and batten walls. The garage is also plumbed for an extra washer and emergency generator. Electric vehicles are welcome here too as the garage is equipped with a Tesla charger.
The newly paved driveway brings you to plenty of parking behind the main house where you may enter a large wrap around deck and fenced-in yard. Two greenhouses and a potting shed are sure to please anyone ready to garden. After working all day on the farm, enjoy a rest on the covered deck admiring the glorious view.
Inside, one will find modern kitchen appliances, wine refrigerator, built-in microwave, gas stove, beverage bar with glass-door cabinets, and granite counters. Built-ins, wainscoting, and knotty-pine ceilings give the mountain cabin feel while relaxing by the gas-log fireplace. Upstairs the attic is finished with two additional rooms which are currently being used as a home office and a bunk room for guests, half-bathroom, and a very large storage room as well as another unfinished storage area. This finished attic adds another 650 square feet of space to this lovely home. A new Trane HVAC system and duct work keep the home comfortable efficiently. The large primary bedroom suite is cozy yet roomy, and its knotty pine ceiling and spa-like bath create a private escape.
The original homestead home and stone chimney are still standing and add old charm to this unique property. There is so much to see here! The owners took thoughtful care when creating a home that allows you to live with the land yet feel comfortable and connected.
