This home is on a private 200 acre property is part of a family farm that is now all forest land originally in 1894. In 2001, Ron and Jackie Hatlevig built their dream house on the farm. The dream was for the home to be very open with log construction and beams and a spacious kitchen. The home was built using many of the Amish barn construction techniques. The home has huge post and beam construction using notches and wooden pegs.

The property comes with a fully equipped kitchen complete with two fridges, a deep freeze (in the garage) and a microwave as well as pots, pans and dishes. The owners have made sure to provide all the possibly forgotten essentials in carefully labeled containers in the pantry — no late night runs for essentials will be necessary for their guests!

The kitchen centerpiece is a wood stove which had been in the original farmhouse, moved to the Hatlevig home near Rushford, and later returned to a place of honor created specifically for it in the new house.

"It’s really quiet here; you can fly fish and swim in the creek, hike, and just look at the stars — it’s a different world than in the cities
The home offers entertainment for that occasional rainy day — a large assortment of books, puzzles, games, and even a couple Barbie houses handmade by Ron for his girls are available.
