This house was built in 1890, and is the original Beam Family homestead here which covered several thousand acres. John Beam from 1765 came to Lincoln County and had fifteen children and his kids established this farm.
Just beyond the hill from the main house sits a quaint cabin, lovingly restored to reflect its original charm. While it still needs a few upgrades to make it guest-ready—like new wood flooring, installation of the already-purchased AC unit, and some foundation leveling at the rear—it holds a unique, rustic character that makes it truly special.
Spanning approximately 1,200 square feet, this quiet corner of the farm produces 30–40 fresh eggs daily—an easy, steady source of nourishment and supplemental income, all while deepening the farm’s connection to the natural rhythms of life.
Scattered across the landscape, twelve buildings grace the farm with their purpose and historic soul. It’s a working homestead, rich with stories. A garage, a hand-built chapel, and an old canning shed whisper of seasons past. The grand barn stands like a sentinel, flanked by two tractor barns and feed silos. Nearby, three outbuildings once built for pigs or goats offer room for the animals. Two water pump houses offer photo opportunities.
There is half a mile of frontage to the Indian Creek along the north and east ends of the property. The bank is sandy and moves around as the water rises and falls with rains.
