Hobby Farm ready! If you've dreamed of having a hobby farm, then welcome to your dream oasis! This 5.14 acre ''hobby farm ready'' property has two finished and functioning paddocks for livestock or hay, a total of 10 gates, a separately fenced in backyard and a fully fenced in front yard, 2 outside decks and separate detached two-car garage. The front yard has four-board fencing with wielded wire, and four gates to completely enclose the yard for animals to roam or children to play. One paddock has a pole barn which is finished as a chicken coop. The back yard has multiple garden spots that are ready for planting, 2 blooming apple trees, a firepit area, and a shade tree.
Inside the freshly renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom 2700sq ft + home, you are welcomed by an abundance of natural.. light! Its open concept living space is a great area for entertaining. Locally sourced wooden beams and accents, neutral white walls, recently updated windows and beautiful vinyl flooring - upstairs and downstairs all give the home a classy country feel. Two bedrooms and one bath are located on the main floor, with a bonus room off the dining room, leading out to the deck. There are 3 non-conforming bedrooms in the basement with 2 bathrooms - one as an en suite. The basement hallway bathroom has two pedestal sinks, washer/dryer hookup, shower, towel closet and utility room. There is extra storage space under the stairway, and nightlight outlets installed.
One of the unique features of this home is the original water cistern which was converted and remodeled to function as a finished storage/safe room. Accessed through a secret doorway in the wall, behind a rolling bookshelf, there is a 184 sq. foot concrete room, reinforced with iron beams, poured cement ceiling and rafters, equipped with two-way ventilation and escape ladder which exits through a hidden manhole. The room is finished with local rough-cut hardwoods and accent lights. It can be used as storm/emergency shelter, or with the installation of a vault door, a walk-in safe.
Just 1 mile outside of Jefferson County, this property is located in the most convenient location -about 10 minutes from Louisville but with all the benefits of residing in Shelby County! It has close access to Taylorsville Rd, English Station Road, Clark Station Rd. and Conner Station Rd. It is 10 minutes from the Simpsonville Bluegrass Outlet Mall in one direction and 17 miles from Taylorsville Lake in the other direction! It's a 10-minute drive from J-Town, a 7-minute drive to Beckley Creek Park, and 10-minute drive to Pope Lick Park. The home abuts 50 acres of woods in a quiet, country setting, with the greatest neighbors and local farms.
A few bonuses: Plenty of room for a green house or roadside veggie-stand, a fire hydrant is located on the property easement, and mature apple trees! The property features fiber internet from Shelby Broadband, city water, and Shelby Country Energy. The HVAC and furnace have recently been replaced, a "whole house" humidifier installed and true HEPA filtration with UV lights installed in vents for seasonal allergy care. A bonus room with cedar trim and lots of natural light would make a great, bright place for a home office or reading room!
