Imagine this home restored – with gleaming wood floors, exposed hand hewn beams, with kitchen and baths updated to your taste. The possibilities are endless – just bring your vision and a remodeling budget.
Old home lovers will delight at the huge hand hewn beams and peg construction evident in the attic. Life in early 1800s Madison required people to be hardy.
The home has a good floor plan – the back (original) portion of the home has a spacious kitchen, bedroom, and two baths, while the front (new – 80+ years ago) portion of the home has a dining room and living room, separated by a wide archway and folding doors, plus 2 bedrooms and a wide entry hall. A sunroom fronts the home. The new portion has hardwood floors throughout, while the original portion floors are covered with vinyl and carpet – but hardwoods are visible in the closets, so there may well be something interesting under there.
The property has a 30x30 workshop, with electric and concrete floor, plus several small outbuildings.
This property may be subdivided:
- Home with 9+/- acre pecan grove - $249,900
- 18+/- acres of pasture, woods, pond - $275.000
- 5+/- acres of pasture = $79,900
The land has something for everyone, 32 acres in total. The west portion of the property is wooded, with a 3+ acre pond tucked inside the woods. There are several good building sites overlooking the pond. A lush Bermuda pasture lies between the woods and the home which is nestled in a 70+/- tree pecan grove. The eastern portion of the property is all Bermuda pasture, about 6+ acres.
It’s a lovely drive to town, down Dixie Highway past horse farms and onto Old Post Road through the heart of Madison’s acclaimed Historic District. Just 2.5 miles from your driveway to the restaurant district and our new Town Park under construction.
This property has about 3200’ of paved frontage, and can be subdivided. Current zoning requires minimum 1.5 acre lots, with well and septic required. The CSX freight tracks shelter the back portion of the property, and the farm faces a 1700 acre tree and horse farm. You couldn’t ask for a more private setting, just minutes from civilization.
Own a piece of Morgan County history, and enjoy country living just 5 minutes from Madison’s shops and restaurants.
