Realtor Comments
A little slice of paradise. This historical farmhouse was built in 1905 and holds a lot of history and stories. Located in Cerro Gordo School District and situated on 6 acres surrounded by farm grounds, this property is the definition of home! So many possibilities! The previous owner purchased this home in 1982. They raised rabbits and were involved in several shows. They trained dogs and had at one time kennels (concrete pads still in place) This land also housed livestock such as cows and chickens. Several outbuildings including a barn with hay loft, poultry house, crib, welding/machine shop, workshop area, and a two car detached garage with electricity are present and ready for the next owner. The barn recently had a new roof put on! This land has plenty of room for gardening among other activities. The electrical fence is present and in working order. As if the land and buildings were not enough to win you over, step into this beautiful two story farmhouse. From the original wood work, banister staircase, wood floors, claw tub, and spacious rooms, this home is ready to be renovated and turned back in to a masterpiece. Step out on the front porch and enjoy the country views as far as they go! New roof and wood rafters replaced. (Estimated in 2013). Call for a tour today!
