Welcome to Swantee Farms! Pride and legacy was at the forefront as one owner built the entire estate piece by piece throughout the 40 plus years the farm was worked. A new owner will have a perfect place to start a multi-use farm. This homestead was built by hand, with intelligent land-use planning, skilled craftsmanship, hard work, and a deep-seated respect for the land and what bounties it offers. The result today is evident as soon as you start to walk the property. The farmhouse is solid and clean with good bones, and all the lumber to build the house came from the property. There is enough room on the farm for the needs of any hobby farmer. Three original Crown Grants make up this property which lead to multiple orchards of a variety of apple, plum, pear, and cherry trees. Abundant bushes of red, black and white currants, blackberries, high-bush blueberries and multiple varieties of grapes are scattered throughout the property. These add to the established vegetable garden that has been maintained yearly. Roughly 210 acres, the property has hayfields, pasture and forest with the most recent tree clearing over 70 years ago. There are private trails suitable for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking – the ultimate enjoyment of contentment. The main road connects to a vast trail system suitable for snowmobiles, 4WD vehicles and other smile makers. The fully functional cattle/horse/goat/sheep barn is clean, solidly built by hand with lumber from the property and is just across the road from the house and workshop. The barn has over 2000 square feet to store hay overhead with a hay elevator outside and a drop chute inside. This property must be seen. Describing it in words can take forever which you will do to your new guests once you see it and make it your very own!
