Set on 40 acres just outside of Longville, this property offers space, privacy, and flexibility in a setting where wildlife is part of everyday life. Whether you’re looking for a hunting property, a private retreat, a place to build your dream home, or all three, this acreage provides room to create, explore, and enjoy the outdoors on your own terms. The land features a mix of woods and open areas that attract deer, turkey, and other wildlife, making it an appealing property for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Established garden areas, apple and cherry trees mixed with blueberry bushes, create a landscape that has been thoughtfully cared for and enjoyed. The existing 1-bedroom, 1-bath home provides a comfortable place to stay while you explore future plans for the property. The acreage may offer opportunities for division, adding flexibility for those considering additional homesites or future investment potential. One of the property’s most cherished features is the “Grandpa Tree,” a stately old oak that stands near the screened porch and inspired the placement of the home itself. Inside, the main living space is open beneath a vaulted ceiling, with expansive windows that bring the outdoors in and capture the changing seasons. In winter, sunlight pours through the glass to naturally warm and brighten the interior, while the surrounding canopy helps keep the home cool during the summer months. The kitchen features custom oak cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a 5-burner gas stove, double oven, and a custom walnut island with log legs, built-in shelving, storage, and seating for six. Hand-stamped cement tile featuring leaf impressions reflects the natural surroundings, while a wood-burning stove and in-floor heat provide comfort throughout the year. The screened porch is a favorite gathering spot, offering a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of the woods. Whether enjoying morning coffee beneath the shade of the Grandpa Tree or spending a quiet evening listening to the breeze move through the leaves, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. The 26x40 garage/workshop offers excellent space for equipment, recreational vehicles, projects, and storage. With 12-foot ceilings, dual 10x10 overhead doors, a wood stove, and a separate office area, it’s well suited for work, hobbies, and outdoor pursuits. A separate bunkhouse heated by a gas stove adds even more flexibility. Filled with natural light from large windows and French doors, it can serve as guest quarters, a hobby space, exercise room, or private retreat. Whether you’re drawn by the hunting opportunities, the established improvements, or the chance to create a future homesite surrounded by 40 acres of woods and wildlife, this property offers room to make it your own. Bring your plans, your ideas, and your love of the outdoors. The land is ready for the next chapter.
