A Safe Haven
This is a western view from the deck. It's a great place to relax and watch the weather rolling and out. Prairie Hill guests are welcome to wander the paths within the designated 30 acre rectangular plot.
The house is at the eastern end, the pond is a few acres in front of the western end with more paths to the north. The northern end is marked by the driveway and the southern end is marked by an adjoining fence line. The surrounding land is rolling hills and farmland with the actual farms out of site.
We live beyond a hedge of pines to the north. Don't hesitate to call us if we can serve you in any way.

*Scroll down for house and land galleries.
Prairie Hill's 1000 square foot great room features a gourmet kitchen with curved hickory breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, dining area with a built in hutch and booth, window seats, large leather sectional, fireplace, and entertainment center. *The large fireplace is only available with permission and when temperatures are below 30 degrees.
Off of the great room is a 12 x 32 foot deck with a table and seating for eight. The cushions and four extra chairs are kept just inside the slider when not in use to avoid collecting water. The west facing deck overlooks the lined, aerated and stocked half-acre pond complete with, a sandy beach, fish food, a pergola, a campfire pit, roasting forks, and wagon to haul items down the path to the pond (*We do not provide firewood). There is a large lawn around the house as well as six foot wide mowed paths along the 25 acre property for you to enjoy.
The lower level of Prairie Hill also has a bonus family room with a wood stove, TV, comfortable seating and a large slider on the west side. You can lounge in a set of Cabela's reclining patio chairs as you enjoy the western view of the pond and forests. *Enjoy the wood burning stove in the lower family room after obtaining permission when temps are anywhere below 50 degrees. It warms the whole house nicely during the winter and early spring months.
