From the Zillow listing:
One of Independence County’s oldest existing homes that harkens back to a simpler time! This home originally began as a trading post in the 1830’s (you can still see the hand hewn timbers in the attic). Like most frontier homes, it has its own artesian well sitting over a large year round spring. The 2.77 acres also has a nice creek & pond meandering through the back of the property. The mature hardwoods frame the remainder of the property and it’s multiple outbuildings. The home itself is a 4 bed, 2 bath, 1,848 sq. ft. country style home with hardwood floors and 3 fireplaces! The house has been well maintained and even though it may have its quirks, it more than makes up for it with its historic charm. Don’t miss out on this rare combination that’s just minutes from town!
