Some homes simply provide a place to live. Others become part of a family’s story.
Built in 1929 by the seller’s grandfather, this is one of those rare homes that became part of a family’s story. Cherished for nearly a century, this farmhouse sits on 83.45 peaceful acres just outside Longville, where the days are measured by birdsong, gentle breezes through the trees, and evenings spent watching the sun settle beyond the woods. Located just minutes from Longville and surrounded by many of the area’s lakes, you’ll enjoy country living while remaining close to fishing, boating, dining, and shopping.
The screened porch is where this story unfolds. It’s easy to picture yourself in one of the rocking chairs with a cup of coffee, enjoying the afternoon shade beneath mature birch and cedar trees. Just beyond, trails wind through the woods, inviting quiet walks, while a hammock tucked among the pines offers another place to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.
Inside, the craftsmanship of another era is evident throughout. Original hardwood floors, beautifully preserved trim, and the graceful arched opening between the living and dining rooms reflect the pride and skill that went into building this home nearly a century ago. Throughout the home, original Black Ash trim and woodwork, crafted from one of Minnesota’s native hardwoods, adds warmth and character that simply can’t be replicated. Every detail tells the story of a home built with care and lovingly preserved through generations.
The home offers two bedrooms, one full bath, a kitchen with a gas range, and a lower level dedicated to the home’s mechanical systems and storm shelter. The original milk house still stands on the property, offering a glimpse into its farming heritage and adding another chapter to its history.
For nearly 100 years, this home has been lovingly cared for by one family. Now it’s ready to begin its next chapter with someone who will appreciate its history, craftsmanship, and the peaceful lifestyle it has always offered.
