Property Description
18.5 acres, a beautifully updated home, a classic barn, creek frontage, mature trees and road access from two sides make this property much more than a house in the country. Located at 917 Goodwyn Road outside Italy, this 18.504-acre property offers the kind of versatility that is increasingly hard to find. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was originally built in 1962 but has been extensively renovated inside, giving you the character and setting of an established country property with a fresh, updated interior. The home sits beneath a canopy of mature trees with a large yard, attached garage and plenty of room to enjoy the property immediately. Beyond the house is where this property really begins to tell its story. A substantial vintage barn remains in place, complete with interior livestock and hay-feeding features, along with additional outbuildings and areas that have previously been used for animals. A creek winds through the acreage, creating a natural wooded corridor through the property while the more open areas offer room for livestock, gardens, additional improvements or simply more space around you. One of the property's most interesting features is its road frontage on both Goodwyn Road and Guisler Road. The second frontage gives the far end of the acreage its own natural point of access, opening up possibilities for a future second homesite, multigenerational family setup, small livestock operation, workshop or other use. A buyer could also explore dividing off a portion of the property in the future, subject to applicable county requirements and buyer due diligence. Whether your vision is a homestead, family compound, small farm, country retreat or simply a home with acreage that gives you options for the future, 917 Goodwyn offers something most properties cannot: an already-improved homesite today with room to create something more tomorrow.
