It makes excellent use of space for your personal or business use. The impressive CLEARY POLE BARN is 60x200 overall. The front portion is 60x72 and features 13 tongue-and-groove wood stalls (12x10 or larger) with mats over gravel and ag-lime base, solid stall fronts and some have summer stall fronts - great for air flow. Additional amenities include a concrete aisle, hot and cold wash rack, tack room, insulated viewing room with bathroom and loft space over the center stalls. The INDOOR ARENA portion is a 60x128 with beach sand footing, angle kickboards, mirrors, and 3 sliding doors (one is remote operated)! The LAND features 3-board and 4-board wood fencing creating 6 grass pastures of a variety of sizes. The RANCH HOME offers almost 4,000 square feet of finished space featuring 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and an attached 4-car garage (will fit a crew cab truck with long bed). A covered front porch overlooks the picturesque front yard and pond, creating a peaceful and beautiful setting to enjoy nature. The kitchen features marble countertops, black and stainless steel appliances, two ovens, and a deep pantry closet. The adjoining Great Room showcases vaulted ceilings, expansive windows with sweeping views of the barn and pastures, and a beautiful fireplace that creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The Primary Bedroom and Ensuite offers a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, double vanity, bidet, heated flooring, and a spacious walk-in closet with double hanging racks. Exterior door leads to a small deck (perfect for a hot tub). The hall bath has been updated with an all marble shower and the back deck was replaced in 2024. Looking for an in-law, related living, guest accommodations or a private office suite? The south wing of the house features one bedroom, one bathroom, large living room and kitchenette with sink and refrigerator (currently used as a wet bar) as well as 3 closets. It was designed with disability access in mind with a separate entrance on the side, direct access to the garage and gentle stair transitions (room for a ramp, if needed). Additional features throughout the home include recessed lighting, six-panel doors, luxury vinyl plank flooring, crown molding, dual HVAC systems and first-floor laundry. The full unfinished basement was intentionally constructed for future expansion as it has 8 foot ceiling clearance, rough-in plumbing, a second laundry area and 200-amp electrical service. Mature trees, attractive landscaping, a double fenced backyard, separate dog run, blacktop driveway, and ample space for a future outdoor arena further enhance the property's functionality and appeal.
