Watch beautiful sunrises on the composite front deck and move around to the extra-large back deck to see the setting sun. The front cobblestone stamped concrete patio allows for an extended relaxation area for either time of the day. Lake Whitewood and Lake Preston are both visible from the front deck. Deer, pheasants, geese, and ducks are frequent visitors. For reasons known only to the stars, the area is blessed with views of the northern lights. Sometimes its hard to go inside, but when you do, the house has satellite TV, high speed internet, and excellent cell phone coverage. All utility lines, including rural water, are buried from their main hub to the house.

The acreage has a wide variety of uses from room to let the kids run and play, raising animals, gardening, growing fruit, hunting or target shooting, and a shop for handy-man jobs. It is ideally located on paved roads close (but not too close) to two major highways. Traveling to local towns for work, school or shopping is mere minutes. Smaller towns are within 5 miles, larger cities 15 to 30 miles, and Sioux Falls is only 80 miles away. Local state parks at Lake Thompson, Lake Poinsett and Lake Oakwood are within 20 miles. Lakes for fishing, boating or just enjoying the water are too numerous to list. Most can be reached in minutes.

The house, built in 1983 with 2X6 stud walls has 3220 sq ft including an attached heated garage. The house is economical to heat and cool as it has been well insulated. The furnace runs off of propane fed by a 500-gallon tank located away from the house. The main floor consists of two large bedrooms, a bath with walk-in Onxy shower and double sinks, a mudroom with a half bath, pantry, and washer and dryer. Large kitchen has oak cabinets with an open flow to the dining room and living room.. The lower level has two finished rooms, both with walk-in closets. One has a concrete floor, the other has carpeting, a partial bathroom with plumbing in place to complete, and a large unfinished room to complete as you wish. Located in the lower level are two sump pumps to assure that there is no overflow should one fail. This has not been an issue in years, but better to be prepared. Large closet spaces and storage areas are found throughout the house.

Newer appliances included are a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, stove, washer and dryer on stands, and water softner. The air conditioning, furnace, hot water heater and have all been well maintained. The house was re-shingled two years ago with heavy duty shingles. The outside landscape includes large decks on both sides of the house, plus a cobblestone-stamped concrete patio in the front and a fenced in backyard. Also located in the backyard is an outbuilding perfect for a playhouse, storage, or he/she shed. The attached single garage has both heat and a ventilation fan. The steps are wide with a nice platform for entry to the house. Located near the house are a detached garage and two outbuildings. One building includes a heater and a doggy door leading to a kennel.

Larger outbuildings include a 60 x 48 Quonset with concrete floor, 50 x 38 storage shed with two 12-foot garage doors with openers, a 40 x 16 open shed, and five grain bins. There are also two additional smaller storage buildings. One is a storage container, the other is another outbuilding for storage or whatever use you can imagine. In total there are two garages, two large enclosed buildings, one open storage building, one storage container, four smaller outbuildings, and five grain bins.
