About this property
A Rare 50-Acre Farmstead in the Sheyenne River Valley Escape to the beauty of the Sheyenne River Valley with this rare 50-acre farmstead in beautiful Benson County, North Dakota. The pasture has never been chemically treated and could be certified organic. Surrounded by breathtaking valley views - some say among the most iconic in North Dakota - the property's river ridge offers multiple private building sites with easy permitting. With rolling hills and scenic valleys, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless opportunities: a dream country retreat, hobby farm, horse property, or forever home. A Piece of History Rich in character, the property features a historic Sears, Roebuck & Co. home built in 1913 with block construction. Timeless craftsmanship shines throughout, from original hardwood floors to the stunning woodwork around doorways and baseboards, and beautifully preserved original staircases - over a century old and still standing strong. The second floor offers four bedrooms and a full bathroom with an original clawfoot tub. Step outside onto the rare walk-out rooftop deck above the front porch and take in peaceful countryside views. The unfinished attic offers exciting potential, with high ceilings, unique roofline, and charming windows - perfect for future living space, a studio, or guest quarters. The main floor includes an enclosed front porch and back porch, kitchen, dining room, office, laundry area, bathroom, and a cozy living room with fireplace. The dining room is truly special, featuring hand-painted murals on the original plaster walls and a striking painted marble finish, completed by a traveling painter in 1914, along with a beautiful stained-glass window leading to the back porch - all adding unmatched charm and historic appeal. Outside & Beyond The abundant acreage is ideal for horses or hobby farming, with mature trees offering privacy and shelter, fruit trees, blooming lilacs, and exceptional hunting and fishing nearby. A large Quonset building with a cement floor provides excellent storage for equipment, recreational vehicles, or workshop space. Additional Features: Rural water Fiber-optic internet - some of the best available in the country Basement with solid block foundation Long private driveway Incredible views in every direction Endless potential to update, restore, or build new overlooking the river A property like this rarely comes available - combining history, privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibility, all in one remarkable setting.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
