Description

Fabulous rural setting with nearly 5 acres to enjoy. The home & outbuildings have a ton of history! The property has an old school house (built in approx 1884) that was moved from the Willow Creek site, has electric & gas run to it, would make a great guest house! The original pioneer homestead is still standing from the 1800's. Small garden shed with chicken coop and a silo at the back of the yard. Room for a garden. Home is very solid with original hardwood floors, 5BR including a main floor master bedroom (exposed reclaimed beams from original barn) with private bath and doors out to the back deck. Updated kitchen, with space for a big farm table. The living room, den, and small sitting room, main floor laundry, half bath and nice large mud room complete the main floor. Updates: furnace is new, pressure tank (2005), roof (2007), iron curtain/ water treatment system newer, well (1998), electric (2006), plumbing (1997), duct work (1996). Maple River Schools.
