Over 125 years of love and laughter are woven into this landmark 4000 SF 6 bdrm/3 ½ bath custom home and school house on 80 acres. Built to accommodate a family of 9, this legacy ranch includes multiple barns, historic grain silo, personal picnic area and pond, irrigation cistern and endless acres to explore.

The memories made here are preserved in a lovingly curated scrapbook for your perusal. The home’s interior honors its western roots, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. You’ll find a stamped tin ceiling in the kitchen, dark wood cabinetry, a river rock two-story fireplace, and arched passageways—all paying homage to the Old West.

Upstairs Jack and Jill bath has 4 sinks and two tub/showers. The other hall bath has two sinks and separate tub/shower area for efficient shared use. The 600 SF school house with its own bath and drinking fountain offers potential as a guest cottage or second dwelling unit.

The large grain silo is a regional landmark and is in excellent condition. The property is completely fenced and cross fenced.
