Upstairs is a large hall with doors going into the master bedroom, two smaller bedrooms, bathroom and the large ...
The foundation and exterior wall of this home are solid rock quarried from the Menan area just six miles north of the farm. The walls are rock approximately 22 inches thick. The beautiful Douglas fir staircase, interior doors and many of the floors have been restored to their original natural finish. One of the unique features of the home is the large room upstairs built particularly for local gatherings and dances. Many of the windows are original with the weighted sash-cords and the original glass showing the waviness and flaws that were typical of the time. The rooms on the main level include a large country kitchen, formal dining room, parlor/front room, office/den, full bath with slate floor and turn-of-the-century style fixtures, one bedroom and a large mud/laundry room. Upstairs is a large hall with doors going into the master bedroom, two smaller bedrooms, bathroom and the large family room. 14 acres are irrigated farm ground. This water is available 24/7 to be pumped onto the ground via the buried mainline, risers and hand-lines that will remain with the property. Another bonus feature of the property is the pond which covers approximately one quarter acre, which is twelve to fifteen feet deep in the center. The pond is lined and thus holds water year round. It is filled and topped off by the piped water shares. The pond is also stocked with rainbow trout and adds enjoyment to any gathering with family and neighbors. Old barns are rare and this property has one. The barn complete with a dairy side, horse side (with stalls), and a main area. The barn is solid and in good repair. The other outbuildings on the property consist of a metal garage/shop, an original wooden garage, two metal grain silos, a chicken coop, and a 30 x 60 cattle loafing shed. This property is truly one of a kind. Just minutes away from Idaho Falls, Idaho to the south, Island Park to the north and a view of the majestic Teton Mountains to the east.
