Built in 1910, this farmhouse features original wood framing and trim throughout, which was harvested from the surrounding timber and remains in excellent condition. Upon the completion of construction, McLean County historical documents noted this home to be "considered by many, as the best farmhouse in the county." This property was mainly engaged in livestock operations in the early years where several outbuildings, which no longer exist, can be identified in historical photos and a few remaining landmarks. This historical farmhouse was considered by the producers of the television series Fargo for one season of filming. All the original blueprints of the home are available and will stay with the property. Only three families have been in possession of this property since 1910. The two acres feature mature oak, maple, elm, and walnut trees that add to the landscape of a historical farmhouse setting. This home is a true treasure of McLean County and needs a caring homeowner to continue its legacy. Located 2 miles near Moraine View State Park. A rare opportunity on a private setting full of wildlife. Imagine spending the day in the stylish sunroom full of natural light. Relax with a lemonade on the inviting front porch.
