Unique Remodeled 1888 Schoolhouse with Highland Cows

Welcome to The Schoolhouse!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway

This adorable 4 bedroom home is newly renovated and located just outside the charming town of Bellville, only 7 miles from I-71. When pulling in, you will be met by a peaceful country setting.

Like to fish? Visit the pond and try your luck or pull up a chair and sit next to the fire pit and enjoy the stars. Too cold to head out? Then snuggle up inside this charming house and make plans to explore the local attractions or just stay in and relax. For those animals lovers, you will find a pasture at the end of the driveway that is home to 7 of the cutest highland cows you have ever met! You are welcome to grab a treat and feed them through the fence. Don’t worry… if animals are not your thing, the pasture is far enough away you will never know they are there unless you want to.

This home is the perfect place for meeting up and reconnecting with friends and family. It features pops of color, comfy furniture and beds, plenty of space at the large dining table for eating or working, and a floor plan that is both open and inviting. The exposed brick and rafters make it even more memorable. The kitchen is well stocked to meet all of your cooking and baking needs.

Downstairs features an open area that connects the family room, dining area, and kitchen, washer/dryer, and half bathroom. Also located downstairs is bedroom number 1 with a queen bed, and a full bathroom. There is a mud room/bonus room with a bunk bed and plenty of coat hooks which leads to the covered patio and grill. This space is set up with fairy lights for a great outdoor atmosphere. Don’t forget those marshmallows for the fire pit which is located just past the covered porch and stocked with wood.

The upstairs features 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. The upstairs hall overlooks the family room. Two of the upstairs bedrooms include king beds and closet space while the 3rd is set up with just enough space for 2 twin beds.

Comfy, cozy and welcoming! Spent two nights over New Years to catch up with long, long time friends. Had everything we needed! Large, well equipped kitchen and outside grill made fixing meals easy. Large dining and living area too. If it wasn’t so cold, we would have spent some time checking out the farm animals…but we did meet Pete, the barn cat. He’s a cool cat!Thanks so much…already thinking about next year!

Perfection

This place was exactly what we needed for our family. We were here for a wedding and this placed allowed all of us to have our own personal space and the room needed for everyone to get ready. Also in the evening we had everything we need to cook meals and relax out back and have a fire. Highly recommend!
