Story:

From age-to-age, from day-to-day and from sun-to-moon a home built on legacy property is a treasure before it’s built. Memories from growing up on the farm transplanted from grandparent to parent and parent to child and child to extended family. This family lives that mantra every day and this home reflects that heritage from the soaring great room to the secret loft and the private master suite to the public screen porch. This is a home for and by the generations.
