If you’ve been dreaming of a fairy tale farmstead, look no further. This stunning 26-acre gem is nestled in a valley at the start of rolling hills, a unique attribute for North Dakota which is typically known for its flatland prairie. The view of a well-known towering Native American natural landmark known as Hawk’s Nest, rises in a blue hue and is clearly visible along the southern horizon from the front porch. This rare property is just two miles from the quaint community of Sykeston, which is home not only to Lake Hiawatha with boat access, a swimming beach and fishing dock but also a well-manicured park, an active church, bustling café and busy post office. This picturesque farm is located just a few miles south of Highway 200 along a well-maintained blacktop road, which is a fantastic convenience for a rural property. Just ten minutes from Carrington, with a newly remodeled elementary and high school, high ranking medical facility, and well stocked grocery store, this farmstead is not only gorgeous but close to numerous amenities and conveniences.
The entrance to this property is a grand one as it is flanked by two century old massive Cottonwood trees, abundant perennial flower gardens grace the yard, a restored octagon grain bin has been converted to a screened in gazebo and is surrounded by grapevine and apple trees. The one and a half story A frame farmhouse was moved onto a poured foundation in 1978 and the main floor primary bedroom and multi-use room (currently functioning as a home office) was added in a recent remodel. The farmstead features a 40 X 60 steel building, a 66 X 32 pole barn and three additional sheds (one currently functions as a she shed devoted to sewing with electricity to it). This cozy home is very comfortable with new windows, forced air furnace, central air and an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower. Three roomy bedrooms are tucked into the second floor.
