About This Home

As of July 2026

Modern home with wide open living space, large windows and abundance of natural light on nearly 40 acres in a very desirable location close to Galen and the Galena Territory. Main floor is all living space and a half bath, lower level included two bedrooms including primary with primary suite. Third bedroom on upper level. Acreage was mostly all wooded with some open prairie land and included about a 1/4 acre pond. An old cabin built on a rock outcropping overlooked the pond but needed some TLC. Great property close to Galena
