This 20-acre horse hobby farm has more than that meets the eye

Chatfield: Adam Levy loves his family’s 20-acre hobby farm. It’s not just about the horses; it’s a peaceful spot where he enjoys coffee while watching his kids play.

He describes the property as a serene escape, with nearly 20 acres nestled between Rochester and Chatfield. They raise cow horses, which are great for herding cattle, and have about two foals each year.

There’s a lovely creek running through the back, with trails perfect for riding or hiking. Levy says once you wander back there, you really feel like you’re away from it all.

Levy and Realtor Bob Stalberger point out that the property has more to offer than what you see from the road. It’s conveniently located near Highway 52, making it easy to access without dealing with gravel roads.

Levy, who co-owns a nearby dog training business, mentions that the home at 12827 Highway 52 SE is quite spacious at 4,072 square feet and is listed for $680,000.

While they raise cow horses, the property features mowed trails with wooden bridges over the creek, making it a calming place to ride.

Levy loves to hop on his horse and can easily lose track of time riding for hours. The property has one fully fenced pasture and two additional pastures, plus it’s great for hunting deer and turkeys.

Stalberger adds that the setup is perfect for raising various animals, whether it’s cattle, sheep, or even dogs, thanks to the barn and round pen.

The home itself has been mostly renovated, with new wood floors and a layout that includes a master loft and a spacious bathroom. Levy loves the sunny front room and the cozy dog room.

They’ve even added a lean-to for a hot tub and a big deck area out back, plus a deck off the master bedroom for enjoying the views.

With beautiful valley views and plenty of space for horses and dogs, this property has something for everyone. Stalberger believes it’s perfect for anyone wanting a country lifestyle, whether for nature enjoyment or running a small business.
