Property Description

If you've been searching for a country property where you can grow your own food, spend summer afternoons by the pond, work on projects in the shop, and still be within an easy drive of everyday conveniences, this is the kind of place that's increasingly difficult to find. Dating to approximately 1844 and known locally as the Pioneer Home, this historic Metamora property offers more than 180 years of character on approximately 2.25 acres. Local historical records recognize the home for its early role in the community, including its historic cistern and distinction as an early area home with running water and electricity. Today, that history is paired with thoughtful improvements that make the property ready for its next chapter. Inside, original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and a flexible four-bedroom layout preserve the warmth of an old farmhouse while providing the space today's lifestyle demands. A main-floor bedroom and full bath add versatility, while the large kitchen gives everyone a natural place to gather with granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, an oversized island, and pantry storage. Multiple living spaces make it easy to create an office, playroom, reading room, or places to simply spread out. When the weather turns cold, gather around the wood-burning stove and enjoy the kind of warmth and atmosphere that newer homes simply cannot recreate. Then step outside, because this is where the property really comes alive. The stocked pond has been improved with a beach area and can be replenished through a dedicated pump and line from the nearby creek when conditions allow. Spend summer afternoons swimming, fishing, or gathering beside the water, then finish the day watching the sunset across the property. Established garden beds and mature pear, peach, cherry, plum and multiple apple trees are already here, along with grapevines suited for winemaking-years of growth you don't have to wait for. Whether your goal is gardening, preserving food, homesteading, or simply having room to enjoy the outdoors, much of the groundwork is already in place. Multiple outbuildings create even more possibilities. A powered approximately 40x40 building provides substantial storage or workshop space, while the property's original barn has been preserved on a newer foundation. Additional metal-roofed structures offer room for equipment, hobbies, storage and whatever plans you bring with you. The oversized approximately 30x60 garage is a destination of its own, with room for vehicles, projects, entertaining and the toys that tend to come with country living. The infrastructure is equally impressive. A 20,000-watt whole-house generator helps keep the property running when the power goes out and is supported by three owned propane tanks. The home also offers multiple heating options, including a high-efficiency boiler reportedly installed in 2022, forced-air heat on the main level and wood heat. A new water heater was install
