Step back in time and become just the fourth owner of this remarkable historic home in Colon. Built in 1874, this one-of-a-kind property showcases craftsmanship that has stood the test of time, featuring locally sourced river stone that was hand-cut and used in its original construction. The home offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with generously sized rooms, soaring high ceilings, and character throughout. A durable steel roof provides modern peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless appeal. Outside, you'll find a detached 2-car garage along with a large hay barn full of potential. While the barn could use some TLC, it presents an excellent opportunity for storage, hobbies, livestock, or restoration projects. The property's unique history, solid construction, and rare ownership lineage make it a truly special offering for those seeking a home with character and heritage.
