160 acres with a stunning rock house and outbuildings - located near the community of Indian Creek, on a county road that dead ends into the Colorado River. The property has been in the same family for over 100 years and this is the first time on the market.
The two-story rock house built in 1934 or 35 by Miss Cora Posey is in simply amazing condition considering that no one has lived in the home since 1980. Miss Posey passed away in 1960 and this house has been maintained by the family since her death. With the exception of the kitchen, which was remodeled at some point, the house remains nearly all original - including oak hardwood floors, 30's light fixtures and wall sconces, doorknobs, beaded board work, Venetian blinds (most in mint condition), etc. The walls appear to be plaster. The family replaced the roof two years ago.

The house is a 4 bedroom, 1 bath with a living room, formal dining room, breakfast room, and wonderful sleeping porch. A center hallway separates the living area from the two downstairs bedrooms and bath. The upstairs consists of two bedrooms separated by a landing. Each bedroom has a closet - an ammenity not common in ranch houses built in the 30's. CAD records indicate 2612 square feet.
This house is a decorator or restoration expert's dream. While it does need some work (plumbing, plaster repair, etc.), there is the potential to turn this into a real show place, as it obviously once was.
There are three outbuildings on the ranch, located near the home. The rock garage has a concrete floor and was built at the same time as the house. It has a storage room plus stairs leading to a wooden floored storage area above the garage. The rock barn was built in the l940's and also has a concrete floor. It is divided into two sections, and the original feed rooms remain in place. Both buildings have had roof and door replacement. There is also a 4 room frame bunkhouse, built in the l920's. This building need work, but could be restored. It would make a cool guest house.
The ranch is fenced into two pastures, divided by a lane leading from the county road to the house. Each pasture has a nice pond. At one time the front part of each pasture was cultivated, but the fields haven't been worked in some time. The west pasture has a seasonal creek and is fairly wooded. Trees are a mix of hardwoods and mesquite, with little cedar. The fences are in good condition, some fencing is new.
This ranch is a good cattle/recreational property. The pastures are in good shape, ready for cows. The area is full of wildlife - including deer, turkeys, dove, and hogs. The ranch is close to the river and to Indian Creek, both an attraction for the animals. The property is also ag exempt.
Also on the ranch is an area believed to be a native American cooking mound. There are big smooth rocks with holes evidently used for grinding corn. There are many places on this property to search for arrowheads.
