Seller Notes:
This property has truly been a dream. We’ve loved waking up to the sunrise, watching wildlife wander through the yard, and ending the day together with unforgettable sunsets. The tree-lined trails, blooming wildflowers, and the quiet rustle of wind through the cottonwoods have brought us so much peace.
The gardens, the open space, and the charm of a historic home—lovingly renewed from top to bottom—have made this a true haven for our family. It feels like you're tucked away in your own world, yet town is just minutes away and fiber internet keeps you connected when you need it.
We’ve poured our hearts into making this acreage both beautiful and functional… and we know you’ll fall in love with it too.
We are selling by owner, but we’re open to working with buyer’s agents. If you’re an agent representing a pre-approved buyer, feel free to reach out—let’s talk!
