Welcome to the ultimate retreat for dog enthusiasts and nature lovers! This ranch-style brick home is situated on over 20 acres of pristine land, surrounded by woods on all sides, offering unparalleled privacy and seclusion. The highlight of this property is the approximately 3-acre technical pond, meticulously designed for the ultimate retriever training facility. With two islands built-in, a large "T" shape, and multiple fingers for ins and outs, this pond provides endless opportunities for retriever training. The pond features long, deep swimming channels down the middle and along the dam, creating a challenging and dynamic environment for your furry friends. Measuring approximately 11 feet deep by the dam and down the middle channel, the pond offers both deep and shallow water, catering to a variety of training needs. It is fully stocked with bream, channel catfish, and large-mouth bass, making it a dream come true for any fisherman as well. In addition to the main technical pond, there is a second smaller "swim by" pond, perfect for training young dogs to stay in the water. This pond is approximately 10 feet deep and is also stocked with bream. To ensure the pond remains at its optimal level during the summer months, a well with a new well pump is available, set up on a timer for convenience. For those seeking a wooded training setting, there is a separate "stick pond" or "beaver pond" that adds a unique touch to your training sessions. This pond also attracts wood ducks, creating a serene and natural environment. The farm area itself is primarily Bermuda hay, making it ideal for horse enthusiasts. The property features three large hills/mounds specifically built for training purposes, providing additional versatility for your training sessions. For the comfort and convenience of your dogs, the farm boasts ten outdoor chain link dog kennels, all placed on a concrete slab. Additionally, there is a separate building with indoor kennels, complete with climate control, including heating and air conditioning. This building also features a stainless steel dog washing station with hot and cold running water, making it a perfect space for grooming or even as a workshop or additional garage. The property includes two outbuildings, which, while needing new roofs and some trim, have structurally sound foundations. A detached carport provides sheltered parking, and a large pen is available for keeping ducks or chickens, adding to the farm's charm and versatility. With an abundance of wildlife, including deer, turkeys, squirrels, and more, this property offers a truly immersive and natural experience. It has even hosted AKC Master Hunt tests and training days, a testament to its exceptional qualities. Don't miss out on this remarkable opportunity to own a property that combines the best of nature, training facilities, and comfortable living. |
