(775) Surround yourself and your family with this historic farm site, owned by Mack and Christina Gunnlaugsson in the early 1900s. Although some things have changed since then, with remodeling and additions to the home and outbuildings, much has remained the same. Original stone fences still meander along the edges of fields. The wide open sky still offers moving cloud collages against a deep blue backdrop and at night you will get lost in the vast panoramic display of stars. When the awesome northern lights dance across the black velvet night skies, you will have your own private unobstructed viewing. The fields beckon you to run free and the wide open spaces will continually inspire peace and serenity. Each day of each season of the year brings you a living landscape of new colors, sounds, smells, and textures from Nature’s bountiful store. Hear echoes from the past as you experience living in the present and looking forward to your future at this unique home and property. Along the driveway to the home is a stone fence that also outlines a parking area and leads to the main entryway which has a stone foundation. The attached 4 car garage also has a smaller garage door on the back corner of the east end. The garage is insulated and has a wood stove.. The main entry of the home leads into a foyer which is open to the kitchen, dining area or the great room. Beyond the great room is the master bedroom suite which features a vaulted ceiling and sitting area with a fireplace. French doors open to the sunroom. A hallway off the bedroom provides access to a large walk-in closet with skylight, a second laundry room, and the master bath.
