Discover a rare opportunity to own 89 breathtaking acres in Homer Township, nestled along the scenic banks of the Chippewa River and surrounded on two sides by the Chippewa Nature Center. This remarkable estate has been lovingly maintained for over eighty years by the same family, preserving both its function and historic charm.

The property features three well-maintained barns and a rich agricultural legacy. Kriss Arbury continued his family's tradition by housing 18 to 20 majestic Shire horses in the stables, while his father, Anderson Arbury, once raised standardbred horses for harness racing, draft horses, and Black Angus cattle across the rolling pastures.

In its first sale ever, this is the chance to steward this remarkable land for generations to come. As one of only two unit block homes Dow designed in 1939—the other being his own renowned residence—this home is a true collector’s piece.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, a home that embodies the timeless elegance and innovation of one of America’s greatest mid-century modern architects.
