Whitetail Properties is proud to bring this amazing farm to the market! The lodge is not just a building; it is a masterpiece of design and functionality. Built-in 2003, the lodge features 2,288 square feet, including a basement with a garage. The construction of the lodge is a blend of rustic charm and modern engineering. The exterior and interior log walls are built over a concrete core, providing both energy efficiency and unparalleled strength. This means that the lodge remains warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing energy costs and ensuring a comfortable living environment year-round. The heated stone floors are not only practical but also add a touch of luxury to the lodge. The lodge also features full-length stone fireplaces at each end, extending to the ceiling vault, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. These fireplaces are perfect for gathering around with family and friends, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the warmth and ambiance. One of the many unique features of the lodge is the railroad boxcar flooring with hand-forged nails. This flooring not only adds a historical element but also showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into building the lodge. The antique functional wood-burning cookstove in the kitchen is another nod to the past, providing a charming and functional cooking experience. For those who value security, the lodge includes a built-in vault and vault door. The concrete core walls and steel shutters add an additional layer of security, making the lodge a fortress in the wilderness. A modern security system further enhances the safety of the property. The acres surrounding the lodge is an outdoor enthusiast's dream come true. With vast expanses of native prairie grass bordered by timber edges, the land offers a diverse and thriving ecosystem. The thick timbered bottoms, intermixed with cedar thickets, provide an ideal habitat for a multitude of wildlife species. Whether you enjoy hunting, wildlife observation, or simply exploring nature, this property offers endless opportunities. An internal trail system, with the majority of it being rocked, allows you to easily navigate the property. Whether you prefer walking, ATV riding, or driving, the trails provide access to all corners of the land. These trails also offer a perfect way to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, from the rolling grasslands to the dense timbered areas. The 40-foot lookout tower is a highlight of the property. From this vantage point, you can take in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Whether you're watching for wildlife, enjoying the sunrise or sunset, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature, the tower provides an unparalleled perspective. A pond near the cabin, previously stocked with bass, bluegill, and crappie, offers opportunities for fishing and relaxation. Whether you're an avid angler or simply enjoy spending time by the water with loved ones, the pond adds another layer of enjoyment to the property. For shooting enthusiasts, the property includes three shooting ranges with distances ranging from 30 yards to 600 yards. These ranges cater to both novice and experienced shooters, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for target practice. Adding to the charm and significance of the property is its historical legacy. The 1870s vintage land advertisement hanging in the lodge showcases a view from the western portion of the property, overlooking the Big Blue River Valley below. This piece of history serves as a reminder of the property’s rich past and the thousands of settlers who traveled westward on the Oregon Trail, which once ran through the land. This historical context adds depth and character to the property, making it more than just a piece of real estate. This property is a rare gem that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, modern amenities, and historical significance. From the meticulously crafted lodge to the vast expanses of native grasslands and timber, every aspect of this property has been designed with care and attention to detail. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone looking for a tranquil retreat, this property has something to offer. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of paradise.
