This charming turn-of-the-century home, ready for restoration, sits on 23.126 picturesque acres and offers a rare opportunity to bring new life to a property rich in history and character. According to oral tradition this antique house was originally owned by the Braum family, purchased by the pervious owners and relocated to this beautiful property. Perched on a hill and set back approximately 100 yards from the main road, the home enjoys a peaceful, private setting surrounded by mature trees and accented by seasonal creeks. The semi-fenced property offers flexibility for livestock, gardening, recreation, or future improvements. The home retains many original features, including shiplap drop siding, wood floors, and classic multi-pane windows that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A traditional single-bowl, double-drainboard farmhouse sink adds vintage appeal to the kitchen, while a vintage claw-foot tub enhances the home's timeless charm. An attached sunroom provides a bright and inviting space to enjoy the surrounding landscape throughout the seasons. An updated Jøtul wood stove with a convenient top cook plate provides both warmth and functionality. Recent infrastructure improvements include an updated septic system with an approximately 500-gallon tank and two newly installed 50-foot leach lines, providing added peace of mind for future owners. Updated utilities, including co-op water, co-op electricity, and internet service, offer modern convenience while preserving the home's historic appeal. The property also features two shallow wells that may be used for irrigation, gardening, or watering livestock. With its original architectural details, scenic acreage, and blend of historic charm and practical updates, this unique property is an ideal canvas for restoration enthusiasts seeking a peaceful country retreat, hobby farm, or legacy homestead.
