- 371 Ac.
371+/- total acres. Two parcels, 245+/-acres with house, barn, and outbuilding, 126+/- land only. Most likely the last large parcel farm in Bovina any of us will see for sale in our lifetimes. And it is an historic one. This is a land only sale, priced at $3,221 per acre. The buildings are free. The house is a genuine antique, one of only 2 Greek Revivals in Bovina. Is it a wreck? Absolutely. Is it a tear-down? Far from it. It is about as original as they come. From this totally untrained eye it looks damn straight. And at most a couple of layers of paint on the gorgeous historic trims. Beautiful floors.... unpainted, or hints of historic old paint. This thing is crazy original, with loads of original details. Elbow grease and lots of cash to bring it back? Absolutely..... but with all that, the prize would be an absolute stunner. The house has not been lived in for 52 years. This is the classic "pickers" dream house. So, so much fun to ramble through..... See attached photos that don't lie. All the detail, and all the work. Gorgeous and fun! (for those with vision and historic appreciation)
