Beautiful, roomy 1896 Victorian farmhouse on 5 quiet acres bordering 200 acres of public land along Rowan Creek trout stream. Uncivilized views, prairie plantings, large fenced organic gardens and orchard, mature and young oaks, plenty of space. 1 mile to Poynette parks, businesses, and schools; 20 miles to Madison.
We are the second family to own this house in 111 years (see original contract). It has been well maintained and gently renovated, including new steel roof, gutters, exterior paint, and concrete basement floors within the last few years. All wiring and most plumbing have been replaced within 15 years. Efficient propane forced-air furnace and on-demand water heater. Gas stove, fridge, washer, dryer, and wood stove are available.
Total finished area: 2200 square feet. Upstairs: BR 17x13, BR 16x15, BR 15x12, bath 12x10, WC 6x5, 4 closets. Downstairs: kitchen/dining area 17x13 (+ pantries), LR 16x15, parlor/office 15x15, BR 12x10, bath 8x5, 2 closets. Basement (unfinished): 16x16, 14x13, 15x13.
15-year-old 30x50 pole shed with concrete floor, double 7' door, 10' sliding door; working hen house with sunrise/sunset door and roll-out boxes (hens optional); large barn has been brought down and is ready for lumber recycling.
Some would call this a farmette.
