Most acreages make you imagine outdoor living. This one already has it. The focal point is the fenced backyard—concrete patio, pergola, and stone fire pit right off the sunroom of this 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,364 finished sq ft farmhouse.
10.74 acres on paved State Highway 56 just north of Hayfield. The 1884 two-story has four bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a main-level half bath, kitchen, dining, living room, and a fireplace family room that opens to the bar and four-season sunroom. A wall of windows looks straight into the fenced patio. Unfinished basement about 864 sq ft. Attached 2-car garage about 552 sq ft (23'x24'). Private well tested June 2025 (sample met EPA primary drinking-water standards for the analytes tested). New 2024 Type III mound septic with Dodge County Certificate of Compliance. Survey completed in 2023.

Buyer to verify township rules for storage/building rental and actual bin condition/capacity.
Some patio photos are virtually staged—cushions and a fire in the existing fire ring were added for illustration only and are not included. Unaltered originals of those areas are in this listing.
