This charming historic home has a very interesting story as part of its past.  It sits along the path of the Old Oregon Trail and the property is considered a spur of the Oregon Trail.  Despite the historical significance, there are no building restrictions that apply.  The original pioneering owner was a retired pharmacist who moved West after suffering a destructive house fire.  Due to his previous home owning experience, he built his new home with 10 – 12” thick concrete and hand applied stucco to the exterior.  

Surrounding the home is a beautifully landscaped yard with a garden which is both watered by an irrigation sprinkler system.  Behind the house is a shop with 220V power and 2 carports on either side perfect for storing vehicles & equipment. Other notable amenities of the land include the individual well with a new well pump, the private septic system, and chicken coop.

The home sits on 1 acre nestled among the neighboring fields of farmland.  This rural location allows you to enjoy the peaceful country atmosphere without the responsibilities of owning a large farm.  However, it is large enough to plant a fruit orchard or board a few horses or cattle. If you enjoy nature, wildlife such as pheasant, quail, and deer are frequent visitors to the area.
