Opportunities like this don’t come along every day! Once home to Country Grain Elevators, this recognizable Taylor Springs landmark offers a rare opportunity for a buyer with the vision to imagine what it could become next. The property includes the former grain elevator complex with multiple grain bins, a spacious feed house/storage building, and the original scale house, which has been converted into a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath living quarters. The scale house includes a kitchen, oversized family room, primary bedroom with adjoining bath, and a steel roof approximately 10 years old. Located at the far east end of the grain elevator, the original feed house has most recently been used for personal storage and offers approximately 2600 square feet of open interior space, with soaring wood framing and plenty of rustic character. The elevator itself stands as an unmistakable reminder of the community’s agricultural past. Out of operation for more than 20 years, its iconic silhouette, vintage Country Grain signage, grain bins and industrial architecture make this a truly one-of-a-kind property. Bring your imagination and think outside the box! Could this property find new life as a seasonal destination, Christmas tree or holiday market, farmers market, event venue, antique marketplace, workshop, storage facility or unique rustic gathering place? Or maybe you have an idea no one has considered yet. The history is already here. Now it’s waiting for someone with the vision to write its next chapter.
