Property Description
A home where generations grew, gathered, and made memories is on the market for the very first time since 1949. For more than 75 years, this cherished property has remained in the same family, passing through generations and becoming the backdrop for countless memories. Now, this unique 18-acre property is ready for its next chapter — and the possibilities are truly endless. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, while an attached, separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment includes its own kitchen and living space. This versatile space provides incredible flexibility for extended family, guests, a private living area, or a potential rental opportunity. Altogether, the property offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, with free gas serving the home and garage. Set on approximately 18 beautiful acres, there is plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, explore, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. An oversized 2-car garage with an attached RV garage space, heat, and electric provides an abundance of room for vehicles, boats, RVs, recreational equipment, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. A gazebo nestled toward the back of the property offers the perfect gathering spot for summer celebrations, family parties, cookouts, or simply enjoying the beauty of the land. With this much space, there is room for memories to be made for generations to come. Adding another unique feature, the sale includes the property's existing gas and mineral rights, which are currently producing and provide approximately $300 annually in royalty income. The home itself is ready for a new owner's vision and creativity. Whether you dream of restoring this longtime family home, renovating it into something completely your own, or exploring the possibility of building anew, this property offers an incredible opportunity to create something special on 18 acres.
