Agricultural-zoned 14-acre country property on Carmel Rd in Stirling, set up for hobby farming with multiple outbuildings, established gardens, and a self-contained bachelor suite. This is a practical rural property with infrastructure already in place, ideal for buyers looking to grow food, keep animals, or create a flexible live/work setup. The home offers a functional layout with a bright kitchen featuring maple cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and updated laminate tile flooring (2025). The living room walks out to a greenhouse, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. Upstairs has been reconfigured into a larger open bedroom space with updated flooring, while the converted sunroom now serves as a separate bachelor-style apartment with its own kitchenette, 3-piece bath, and laundry hookup, useful for extended family or supplemental income. Outside, the property is where it stands out. A 22x30 barn with new siding and brand new 100 amp service, detached garage with woodshed, chicken coop, greenhouse, and an established garden with irrigation system create a ready-to-use small farm setting. Fruit trees, berry patches, and lilac hedging add both function and privacy. Major systems are updated, including a 2019 furnace, 200-amp service, and full water treatment system with annually tested well. This property suits buyers looking for space, utility, and the ability to expand into a hobby farm lifestyle just minutes outside Stirling.
