About this property

Hidden up a long private driveway is a quiet place we call The Farmhouse. This completely remodeled home has a foundation that dates back to before the Civil War, with lots of land to enjoy. There is even a private swimming/fishing pond just a 5 minute walk away.

In addition to being quiet and secluded, we are less than 10 minutes from shopping and many restaurants and less than 30 minutes from Downtown

The Farmhouse is one of two available properties at Mike's Folly, a privately held working FFA farm.

A/C UNIT

The property itself was nice minus the fact that several light bulbs were dead. The air handler kept cycling in and off and not working properly. Very hot in the house. Hopefully gets repaired. Everything else was pleasant. Enough room. Nice location. Pond and kayaking was a great opportunity.

Worst stay ever

We came for a funeral. Needed a clean place to stay. Found hair everywhere. Bathrooms were used and not cleaned. Management never responded to our requests. Then they refused to refund the cleaning fee that I had paid and then cleaned for them. This place should not be allowed to host any guests at all!!!!!’

Not what it's presented as

Drywall is cracked throughout the house, nails and screws sticking out of doorways, mold in several places, exposed electrical junk boxes and breaker boxes within reach of children, food left under the edges of kitchen counters, the oven was full of burnt on gunk, floors are all uneven and bounce when you walk, yard is full of junk, and pretty sure the property owner was in and out of the house everyday while we were gone without telling us that was going to happen. There are spiders galore and many outlets don't work. House was very misrepresented in the listing. Will not stay again. Renter beware.

What makes this property unique

There is a lot of open space around The Farmhouse that you can stroll through. There is a fence on the south side of The Farmhouse but you are free to go into that area.

The Fishing and Swimming pond is located to the north of the driveway, about a 5 minute walk

We have stocked the pond with catfish, crappie, blue gill and small mouth bass. If you want to fish you will need to bring your own poles and tackle. Small bait worms seem to produce the best results for the crappie and blue gill.
