Country in the City! Located one mile south of Hwy 6 inside Batesville's city limits, this pretty place is an ideal setup for horse lovers, homesteaders, or anyone looking for a nice hobby farm, full-time residence, or even a weekend retreat. Fully fenced and security-gated, the farm has previously been home to horses, donkeys, goats, and other livestock and is ready for new residents. The brick home is full of character and functionality, featuring wood plank flooring, a large brick fireplace, and a remodeled kitchen with solid walnut countertops and a copper farmhouse sink. The stunning sunroom joins the kitchen and features a wet bar and wood-burning stove. The master suite has walk-in closets and a bath with double vanity, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The bedroom features access to a private underground storm shelter, offering added peace of mind during severe weather. The geothermal heating and cooling system provides impressive energy efficiency, and the roof was replaced in 2021. The home also has a paved circle drive with a double carport, and utilities include community water and fiber optic internet. For the conservationists, additional improvements include solar panels, greenhouses, and water catchment systems that enhance the property's self-sufficient appeal. Of course, none of these are required for the property to function. A single switch changes the home from solar power right back to regular electricity. The property features a massive workshop/equipment shed that can easily house large equipment, an RV, or even a small plane. The property is fenced and cross-fenced and has a four-stall barn, a stocked pond, lots of fruit-bearing trees and vines, and over seven wooded acres of mature timber along the eastern boundary. There are several pretty building sites scattered around the property with room for additional homes or outbuildings. Enjoy outdoor living with deer, turkey, and small game hunting along with fishing on your own land. This one-of-a-kind property has something for everyone!
