Description
This robust farm is well-known to many in the area as the Fort Bison Ranch. Over the past 25 years, the sellers have built this farm for functionality and efficiency, while keeping the aesthetics of the ranch in mind. The Fort Bison Ranch raised bison for many years, supplying USDA-inspected bison meat to individuals and select retailers. Farms such as this can be built but rarely can be bought. Sitting on nearly 160 acres of rolling pastures and hardwood timber, this turn-key working cattle, equestrian, or bison farm is ready for its new owner. Standing front and center upon your entrance to the property is the original rock house from which the road, Rock House Road, was named. The home was originally constructed in 1939 and underwent an extensive remodel and addition in 2010. The home features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large living area with a fireplace, and a beautiful kitchen. As you make your way out of the house to the back deck, you'll appreciate the view overlooking the farm. On clear days you can see one particular landmark that is just over 11 miles away as the crow flies. Sitting adjacent to the home is a detached 30'x30' two-car garage. The largest barn measures at 40'x80', has a 16' loafing lean-to, tack room, and an additional 20'x20' office space and full bathroom. The tack room, office, and bathroom are all climate-controlled. This barn also has a loft, two horse stalls, and a large sliding door on each end. An additional 40'x48' barn was recently constructed to allow for more hay and equipment storage. With functionality in mind, the sellers installed a propane-fueled Generac generator which will power the entire farm should the power fail in the area. The entire farm is fenced and cross-fenced, and a custom-built corral and working pen were constructed between the barns. Built to withstand the strength of bison, you'll find them to be more than suitable for cattle or horses. The 160+/- acres is comprised of nearly 60 acres of
Supplements: well-maintained pasture and about 100 acres of beautiful hardwood timber. Access around the farm is unmatched with the established trail system. The farm has several great water features with multiple springs, one spring-fed pond, and many wet weather drainages. The northernmost boundary of the farm joins an additional 160 +/- acre tract of state-owned and managed land known as the Holland State Forest. Holland State Forest is open to public hunting, hiking, and other low-impact uses. Don't miss out on an opportunity to purchase such an established and turn-key farm. The property can be viewed by qualified buyers with at least 48 hours of notice prior to the desired showing time.
