Property Description
Click here to watch a 3-D tour of this property. Enjoy breathtaking views from the living room of this furnished estate in the heart of Nebraska's famed Pine Ridge! This exceptionally furnished property comprises 15 acres and a gorgeous 5,000 sq ft home with astonishing views of Lovers Leap and Crow buttes that mark the entrance to Fort Robinson State Park. Use the 360-degree tour to explore every inch of this warm and inviting home. The home is of a classic Craftsman design with a dramatic 360 wrap-around covered porch and deck. There is always a side in the shade or out of the wind to sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of the area. There are five bedrooms and three and a half baths with laundry and the master suite on the main floor. Hardwood cherry flooring, trim, and solid doors throughout are proof of the quality and expense taken in construction of this home. The kitchen was thoughtfully designed to meet any chefs standards with white-washed cupboards and a large center island. The space flows seamlessly into the living and dining area with easy access to an enlarged side of the wraparound deck for outdoor dining. The show-stopping feature of this home is the living room with its large picture window with the Lovers Leap Butte centered within it. Standing there and enjoying that magnificent view, one comes to realize that the home was precisely sited so that its prime view would be centered squarely on this fantastic landmark. The main floor is rounded out with a generous laundry room, an office, a guest bedroom with adjoining bath, and the master suite. The master suite includes the bedroom, a large his and hers walk in closet, and a spacious bathroom complete with a bidet. Adjoining the bedroom is a bonus room that the previous owners used as an art studio, but that could serve any hobby or interest, or simply be used as a quiet retreat. After the enclosed entry and at the top of the stairs is a large closet that was designed to accommodate an elevator to the lower level should any future owners wish to install one. The lower level offers an entry hallway and closet to walkout to a patio and a lush backyard. There is also access to the patio through a small mudroom with access to the garage. Outside a great deal of good black soil was brought in when the home was built, and underground sprinklers installed so that the many trees, perennial beds and lush lawn could flourish in this normally dry, rocky landscape. Gorgeous built-in cherry bookshelves line the wall of the lower levels main room and frame a space for up to a 70inch TV. You might call this space the library if not for the fully appointed wet bar that suggests the space is used for far more than just studious reading or watching movies and sports. Just off this room is an enormous storage pantry with shelving and freezer space large enough to provision a whole family through a long winter! There is even an ample storage room for use as an attic. And the bathroom servicing the three large bedrooms downstairs features a large travertine tub and shower. The home sits on 15 acres just north of the town of Crawford, far enough away to feel you are in the country, but close enough to make a quick run into town for a few groceries. The larger college town of Chadron is only a 20 minute drive away for other shopping, dining and professional services, and also has a hospital and a small airport. The Pine Ridge is really where the Black Hills begin, with craggy canyons, large and varied rock formations, and the smell of dark pine mixed with sweet grasses. For hunters, it is an area known for its unspoiled beauty and plentiful wildlife. Elk, Mule deer, White-tail deer, Antelope and wild turkey lure hunters from all parts of the country, if they are lucky enough to know about it. The area is also steeped in the history of the Old West, with the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane frequenting the saloons of Crawford, and a young Teddy Roosevelt scouted these ridges. Just south of town is Fort Robinson the base for the U.S. Army in this part of the West, and is the site of the death of famed Chief Crazy Horse. With Legend Butte golf course, interesting museums, and paleontological dig sites in the area you can spend fun days investigating the areas historical significance from as recent as the 1800s all the way back to the age of the dinosaurs. This is one of the few areas in the world where you can find Indian arrowheads and dinosaur fossils just sticking up out of the ground as you hike the area. This is a very special home, in a very spiritual place. This home must be seen to truly appreciate it, and the Pine Ridge must be experienced to be understood. NOTE: Home comes furnished.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
