To find this farm home from I-71, take the Ashland Exit, 176.  Follow the signs for US 42 toward Ashland.  You will go past Ashland on a bypass.  Follow US 42 S to R on TR 1353, 1546 is on Left.  In addition to very good buildings there is a farm pond.

This farm home on 137 acres was built in 1890.  There is an attached two-car garage, insulation, many updates and good maintenance;  but the farm and the buildings are also remarkable for their classic, century-old  beauty.

It is an all electric home. The taxes are accurate only if you want to continue CAUV.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see that this barn is well kept.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sitting room invites good conversation and relaxation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's another barn picture.  There are two barns on the property and a machinery shed.  The lettering on the barn says THE FIKE FARM.

This is really what one sees first at the property, the sugar shack.  Obviously the building in the worst repair and is now without the evaporator, it still evokes the days when steam came up from the evaporator and the smell of cooking maple syrup tempted you to forget your diet and have pancakes covered with maple syrup.

That is a driveway running in front of the building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old-fashioned comforts are the features of this home.  The heat is electric.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The basement is just what one would expect in an old farmhouse.  You will never build a family room down here, but just look at the sturdy construction that has lasted for 117 years and will probably last another 117.

 

 

 

 

 

A final picture of what you see as you drive up the lane.  The farm is suitable for general farming, hunting, just about whatever you want.  With 137 acres, you can do a lot.

This is the attached double garage. It has been added at the side of the house.  You can see it in both of the house pictures. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an aerial view of the farm.  It gives an idea of the layout of the fields and woods on the property.  My apologies for the bad reproduction, but at least you can see that the yellow lines are the outlines of the various areas in the property, and the road and the farm lane are defined.
