A Southern-style home featuring a majestic wraparound porch overlooking 25 acres is for sale in the beautiful Elmore County countryside north of Wetumpka.

The custom-built mansion of almost 5,000 square feet and farmland are accompanied by barns, fences, pastures, and a pond. Add in the animals and you are ready to name your farm!

“The home is located in a rural area of Elmore County with other large landowners in the vicinity,” Realtor Angie Carter said. “While this property feels like you are worlds away, you are actually less than 10 miles to all of the shopping, dining, churches, and schools in Wetumpka.”

The property at 593 Balm Road north of Wetumpka is for sale for $850,000. The home includes three full bathrooms along with three bedrooms, with space for more bedrooms if needed. The house offers 4,936 square feet of living space and was built in 2004. The property includes 25 acres.

Inside the front door, the foyer leads into the large family room with its vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and a view of the upstairs catwalk. Just beyond sits the open kitchen and dining room. “All of the rooms in this home are large enough to accommodate any family or gathering of friends,” Carter said.

The master suite spans the length of the left side of the home and includes a spacious bathroom with two vanities, jetted tub, separate shower, walk-in closet, and a linen closet.

Another nice bedroom and an attached office space include a wall of windows. The view features the back yard and pastures beyond. One guest bedroom and bath are also on the main floor. This downstairs guest bathroom has an antique feel with a pedestal sink and claw foot tub.

Another guest room and bath are upstairs along with a huge storage closet and a flex room that could be a play/game room or converted into two more bedrooms.

“Don't miss an opportunity to relax outside on the upstairs balcony off the back of the home,” Carter said.

A three-car garage comes with additional RV space and a workshop. “The garage also has a full bath, finished 1,200 square feet of loft space, mud sink, places for extra refrigerators and freezers, and all of the storage you can imagine,” Carter said.

A small barn is now used mostly for feed and storage. The larger barn includes six stalls, a tack room, hay loft, and a bath. “The setup is perfect for one who has been dreaming of having horses,” Carter said.  “The acreage is fenced and cross fenced for livestock and includes a small pond, children’s play equipment, and fruit trees.

The farm has great garden locations for growing your own food. Let's get a little bit off the grid!”
