About This Home

Nestled on over 47A± picturesque acres in south-central Marshall County, this unique property offers a rare blend of rich history, natural beauty, modern comfort, and midwestern hunting and recreational opportunities. Steeped in history, this remarkable land was once home to the Standard Oil Pumping Station. Remnants of its storied past remain, including ornate historic structures and an original smokestack, offering a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Additional historic features along the railway include additional buildings, cooling ponds, and a large tank that has been repurposed into grain storage. The atmosphere is very inviting for historians and photographers alike and would be an incredible sight for a future venue should someone see the potential of the historic setting. Aside from the historic aspect, if you've been looking for a hunting and recreational property offering year-round use, this property offers that as well! Situated up a winding driveway on the southeast corner, a fully remodeled, modern cabin features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full basement, and a spacious deck that overlooks serene woods and a tranquil pond. The cabin measures approximately 720+/- sq ft and offers endless privacy and entertainment, and is the perfect spot for relaxing while enjoying the surrounding wildlife. Directly outside the cabin is a smaller garage that offers storage and a walk-in cooler for cooling out wildlife on warm days. While being in a well-known area for trophy whitetails and a good deer density, outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the excellent deer and turkey hunting opportunities with frequent sightings of each and other small game. The vacant land is made up of a rolling hillside and approximately 12.5+/- acres currently in alfalfa hay production, providing both agricultural value, bedding and scenic open space. There is also an elevated Muddy blind in place on the back hay field offering an excellent spot to hunt from while having a great vantage point of the farm.
