A Little Bit of History
This one-room schoolhouse educated local children from 1869 to 1966. Later, it became a beloved community gathering place before being restored into a private home in 2016. A full renovation in 2023 transformed it into the beautifully modern retreat it is today—where history, comfort, and nature come together in the most inviting way.
