The 95-acre property in New Philadelphia, Ohio, offers a rare blend of history, comfort, and rural versatility, now available through an absolute auction.
At its center stands a 2,700-square-foot farmhouse built in 1890 and renovated in 2004, preserving its original charm while providing modern conveniences.
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home balances historic character with updated functionality, making it inviting and practical for contemporary living.
Inside, the great room serves as the central gathering space, featuring barn-style siding and a gas stove that create a warm, rustic atmosphere.
