Description

Are you ready for the country life, but still close to Madison and I-55 and all the conveniences? This amazing property is what you're looking for! 242 beautiful, rolling acres, partially fenced for cattle with two houses on the property plus a lake, with all the privacy you could ask for and still 30 minutes away from Madison! Here's what we have - the original farmhouse, built in 1951 has been elegantly renovated and updated by the sellers, doubling the square feet to around 4,000. There's a formal living and dining room, a big farmhouse style kitchen, family room and breakfast area plus 5 big bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. There's a ton of storage throughout the home, and windows abound so you don't miss any views. Outside there's porches, patios and a covered pergola...plenty of places to relax and watch nature, plus an old wellhouse that's been converted into storage and a gardening building. There's a stocked lake in the back and a short driveway to the second house. This one was built in 2011 and was used as an office plus an apartment upstairs. Downstairs is a bedroom, den area, a bath and a small kitchen. Upstairs is a full 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment with a full kitchen and den. On the back of this building is a full shop that's heated in the winter. It's big enough for all of your farm equipment, recreational vehicle.... whatever you've got! On the front is a 2-car carport. All around you are 242 acres, some is pasture, some is wooded. There's a creek and so much to see and explore. The property is gated and private and could easily accommodate horses and/or cattle. This property started its life as a cattle ranch years ago. Breakwater has a diverse Land Mix (Pasture, Woods, Brush, Creeks) that should support just about any rural activity you desire, along with plenty of amenities. Everything about this property represents Country living at its finest. For the bird watcher, songbirds abound, and sightings of Bald Eagles and Great Horned Owls are commonplace. For the explorer, search for mastodon bones, shark teeth, arrowheads and petrified wood. For the outdoors person, deer, rabbits, squirrels and turkeys are bountiful. There are food plots and shoot houses strategically located on the property. However, the open fields and fenced pastures are equally suited for cattle or horses, and a set of corrals is centrally located. Come on out and let's explore it! Call your favorite Realtor today!
