When I originally toured this property it was listed at $625,000. By the time I'm writing this up, the price has been cut to $599,000 — a $25,000 drop. In Black Forest, on 5.2 acres, with what this property includes, that's worth paying attention to.

I'll be honest — I went in expecting it to feel small based on the exterior. It didn't. It was more spacious than I anticipated, and the renovations were done well. This is a 1989 build that's been genuinely updated, not just patched up.

What's Actually on the Property

The main house is a 3 bed/2 bath with granite countertops installed in 2022, a water heater replaced in 2022, and fresh exterior paint done in 2025. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub. It's not a fixer — this is a home that's ready to move into.

But the real story is the outdoor setup:

  • Horse barn — built for up to 4 horses, and done well. If you already have horses or have been looking for a setup to bring them to, this is a serious barn.
  • Animal shed — a separate outbuilding that looks purpose-built for goats, chickens, pigs, or whatever you're running.
  • Large storage area — sized for tractors and heavy outdoor equipment.
  • Detached mother-in-law suite — completely separate from the main house. Functions as a studio apartment. Rent it out, house family, or use it as a workspace — completely up to you.

The Investment Angle

The detached MIL suite is what makes this more than a lifestyle property. A separate rentable unit on 5.2 acres in Black Forest — with a price point that just dropped $25K — gives you real flexibility. Live in the main house, offset the mortgage with rental income from the suite, and have space for animals and outdoor equipment on top of it.

Black Forest is also about 15 minutes from shopping, hospitals, and restaurants. It's genuinely rural without being remote.
