From Plain Box to Cherished Home.

When I bought this 1941 house people thought I was crazy. You could look at it and see It had been unloved it for years. What attracted me to the listing was the 165 acre wildlife refuge just outside my 1/4 acre backyard, a remnant of the original prairie lands filled with flowers, wild animals, birds and pollinators.

I knew I had to have it the first time I drove up. I saw not what it was, but what it could be.
