An exceptionally beautiful property that truly captures the essence of Bosque County, The Funny Farm, offers breathtaking, tranquil views of rolling countryside and long vistas that reach the ridgetops.
A unique feature of this property is its southern border, the cool, crystal-clear Meridian Creek, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. The property includes a winding drive leading to the headquarters, which comprises a 2600 sq ft main house, a guest house, and an art studio, totaling 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. A masonry fence connects these buildings, creating a private retreat. The custom-designed buildings showcase an artistic flair, featuring hand-carved vigas from Bernalillo, NM, adorning the porches. This one-of-a-kind property embodies a lifestyle of family, outdoor living, and creativity.
Bosque County, known for its Norwegian heritage, is a land of good neighbors, flowing water, and rich soil. The Funny Farm is home to abundant wildlife in its woods and meadows, and a walking path along the creek is ideal for early morning strolls. A fertile, cultivated field is ready for growing anything from corn to grapes or various vegetable crops.
The property is conveniently located just 5 minutes from Clifton, which offers shopping, restaurants, the Bosque Arts Center, and a downtown theater. Additionally, Bosque County is rich with wineries, historic churches, and more. Waco is a 45-minute drive, and Dallas and Fort Worth are a little over an hour away, making Bosque County a historically popular destination for Dallas residents.
Life in this region is truly wonderful. I encourage you to visit and experience it for yourself...you just might decide to stay! The owners have purchased another property out of state and priced this property to catch your eye!
