20 acres of easily accessible land, proximate to town, and a 6,200 +/- square foot, 7 bedroom, 7 bath main home, well beyond its prime though still reminiscent of its prairie style grandeur, featuring a formal entry, formal dining room, library and master suite with its own fireplace. The estate also includes a guest house, pool house and pool, tennis court and horse stable. Currently listed by Steve Lessard of Coldwell Banker, the estate was originally for sale in 2005 for $18,000,000.
