Welcome to the historic Evans Farm, known locally as "Doc Evans," a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ohio history. Built circa 1854 by the Shigley family and later home to A.B. "Doc" Evans, an influential figure in Ohio agriculture. This stately two-story brick farmhouse sits on 20.75 acres in the Greeneview School District. The 3,516 sqft home offers 4-6 bedrooms, 2 full baths, parquet oak hardwood floors, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen with granite pegmatite countertops and slate flooring. Warmth and character flow through the breakfast and dining rooms, family room with Vermont Castings wood stove, and enclosed porches, while modern comforts include updated HVAC, whole-house A/C, and a reverse osmosis water system. A 12x24 heated/cooled art or music studio with kitchenette, a two-car garage with workshop, and multiple barns and outbuildings including a 40x88 main barn with stalls and hay storage, a 57x60 pole building with pull-through for equipment, and livestock facilities make this property ideal for farming, hobbies, or multi-use living. The land features 15 acres of tillable farmland (CAUV tax benefit, generating $3,520 annual rent), 1.6 acres of fenced pasture, and a charming orchard with apple, peach, pear, and cherry trees. The seller is motivated, having already secured a new home, and is open to parceling off the land south of the residence. With its rich history, agricultural potential, and flexible opportunities, this remarkable property is being sold as-is and awaits its next steward.
