Historic 1860's Farmhouse!Truly a one-of-a-kind property. The original road that lead from Wales to North Prairie runs for 1/4 mile through this property and is part of its driveway! Two entrances lead to this home. The original land grant dates back to 1845 and is signed by President John Tyler. Built into the side of an esker, this historic 1860’s farmhouse, completed renovated in 1983/84, was once owned by the Williams family, who were ministers and farmers in the area. Two books were written about his family. The home offers lots of charm and character, with built in book shelves, beamed and vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, hardwood floors and so much more! On the property are many outbuildings including the original hay barn which has been converted into a garage, workshop, and guest quarters complete with full bath, loft, library, and two spiral staircases. A Morton building was put up roughly five years ago which currently houses a 40’ RV but would also serve well for horses, llamas, or alpacas. The nearly 12 acre property has a mix of open pasture land and woods, and you won’t be surprised to see many types of wildlife roaming around. Additional outbuildings include a milk house, detached 2 car garage, large shed for storage and an in-ground pool. |
