Property Description
Offered for sale is a rare piece of history located on a hard surface road and only minutes from Lake Rathbun. The one-room Brushy Schoolhouse has been lovingly restored, while preserving the original architectural integrity, into a beautiful one-bedroom one- bath home. The hardwood floors, high ceilings, wood stove, and chalkboard from 1914 still remain intact and make this an extremely charming and unique home. The open floor plan kitchen and living area are flooded with natural light from so many windows that make the room seem so spacious. A separate laundry room has also been added. Appliances are included with the home, as well as the furniture and the memorabilia from the original schoolhouse that adorns the walls. A large deck on the west side of the home has a spectacular view of the countryside and would be a perfect place to watch the sunsets and abundant wildlife. The mature trees are gorgeous, and the yard has recently been fenced. The new owner of this home will have so many opportunities due to the close proximity to the lake. Honey Creek State Park and Resort are only a few short miles away. This would be a great location for an Airbnb or a year-around home. The 3/4-acre m/l lot is flat and has plenty of room to park boats or campers and put up a building if desired. The possibilities are endless. This one won't stay on the market long as it is a rare opportunity to own a very unique piece of American history. Call today to schedule your private tour.
