Dreaming of a hobby farm, family compound, or peaceful country living? This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch on a square 5-acre parcel in Albany offers a great opportunity to build equity and create the rural lifestyle you've wanted. The home needs some updating, but many major improvements are already done, making it a solid project for buyers with vision. Surrounded by farmland, the level acreage offers privacy and plenty of room for livestock, gardens, outbuildings, or recreation. Updates include newer plumbing and wiring, a well pump about two years old, an owned water softener, some vinyl windows, and a brand-new central air unit. Inside are a spacious living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and 1.5 baths, including a primary bedroom with a private half bath. The basement has interior access and exterior cellar doors. Outside, you'll find an oversized garage with a two-door overhead setup that has been reinsulated, rewired, and is ready for heating and central air, plus two additional outbuildings, including one formerly used as a chicken pen. Five usable acres, a peaceful setting, and plenty of potential don't come along often. Schedule your showing today and imagine the possibilities.
