About this home
Step back in time with this grand country home, believed to have been built circa 1899 and originally serving as a schoolhouse for the surrounding community. Rich with history and character, the home features soaring ceilings, spacious rooms, abundant natural light, and a large covered front porch overlooking rolling farmland and beautiful mountain views. Situated in a peaceful rural setting just 15 minutes from town, this property offers a rare opportunity for someone with vision to restore a piece of local history. The home requires significant renovation and deferred maintenance and is being sold as-is. Existing monitor heaters and wood stove have been the primary heat sources, and buyers should verify the condition and functionality of all systems. Due to the property's condition, cash buyers are preferred.
