Utilities

• Water - There is a good deep well with plenty of water. Hydrants are strategically located to make it convenient to a source of water, regardless of whether it is water for animals or to irrigate your garden and vegitation.
• Electrical - Virtually every building is "wired". So whether you are setting up shop or caring for animals, "you have the power!".
• Propane - A large capacity propane tank for house and other structures. Over the years, porpane has typically been much more economical that natural gas, at least compared to natural gas costs in the cities.
• Septic - A new septic system has (is) been installed, thus eliminating a concern that is aften associated with acreages and farms. The new septic systems are designed to provide many years of carefree service.

Outbuildings
Numerous outbuildings exist that should satisfy a number of uses.

• Barn - This is an 'old fashion' barn that is in excellent condition. With a barn, or for that matter any structure, it all starts with the roof. If the roof is bad you can be sure that the structure is certain to be in a decline. The steel roof on this barn is in breat shape and will provide many years of usage without concern. The (mostly) open span interior affords many possible uses, whether that useage would be for mechanical, livestock or as a warehouse. Or if for some reason you have no need for the barn (heaven forbide), then the foot wide boards that make up the exterior skin of the barn would be worth a great deal to sell to a contractor that makes uses of these boards in remodeling projects. Likewise the steel roofing could be salvaged for a number of uses.

• Garage - this one & a half car garage is convenient to the house and has a paved driveway.
  
• Tool Shed -

  

• Utility Shed w OHD -
• Utility Shed w open front -

• Concrete Slab - The remaining concrete floor from a razed building offers a good location to spot a portable building or perhaps spot a building whereby you could make use of the slab as a feed floor for chickens, pigs, or whatever.

• Horses - Maybe you have a horse (or 2)... even though there is no pasture for horses, there are lots/pens for exercise and a great barn to provide housing and feed/hay storage.
• Poultry - There is no chicken house, but there buildings that could be used for poultry such as laying hens or broilers. And there certainly is plenty of room to build (or buy ready-made) housing for whatever type of poultry you may want to raise. Raise your own meat and eggs - year-round! As a matter of fact, this can be a great money-maker projects for kids (or just as a cash crop). Let them raise there own poultry to earn their own spending money.
• Calves - Another cash crop can be feeder or veal calves. There is plenty of room to house a number of baby calves that can be raised to "veal" size and sold or butchered.

• Sheep - Lambs are easy to raise and can be great kid projects, or projects for anyone.
• Hogs/Pigs -
  This may not be a place for pigs to run loose, but confinement buildings do not take much room and can easily be integrated into a livestock plan. They can be a good source of revenue, in any number of forms.

Recreational Vehicles
There is plenty of room for those recreational ATVs and the snowmobiles.

Gardening and Growing Plots
The current garden area is rather small and behind the barn where the soil would be rich from the many years of livestock waste, and thus making the soil very rich and high in nutrients. But if you want MORE garden, then there is a sizeable area along the west side of the property. This are ideal locations for a large vegatable garden for such things as tomatoes, potatoes, beans, onions, cucumbers, mellons, and any number of other staple vegatables.

The east side of the property could also accomodate a garden area. In either area the layout is such that there are any number of spots that would be ideal for a periennel gardens such as an horseradish, rhubarb, asparagus, an herb garden, a butterfly garden, or "your-idea" garden. There is no orchard here, but there certainly is room and an excellent location for a variety of fruit trees.

If you love grasses and flowers and pretty landscaping, then you can see endless locations to beautify the homestead. Let your imagination run wild!
