What makes this property especially unique is the history beneath your feet. The current owner's father built the existing home in the 1980s, incorporating the beautiful original stone foundation of St. Dominic's School, believed to be built in 1909. The original St. Dominic's Church was also located here, and remnants of the past can still be discovered throughout the portion of the property closest to Centala Road, including old stones & sidewalks from both the church & school. The mostly wooded acreage wraps around the original St. Dominic's cemetery, which has not been used for many years. The home offers convenient main-floor living, a full basement, & an attached 2-car garage accessed through the basement. There's also a large additional garage on the property, providing plenty of storage room for whatever your country lifestyle requires. A brand-new accessibility ramp offers easy walking access and wheelchair accessibility. This isn't simply a property, it's a place where history, nature, family, & country living come together. Whether you feel a connection to the Metz area already or are looking for somewhere special to put down roots, you need to come and walk around this property. There's a good chance you'll fall in love with it.
