The Maxwell family has called this property home for more than 46 years. What was once a wild, thorn-covered piece of land has slowly been transformed into the property we’re blessed to enjoy today.
Much of that transformation began with Larry’s father, Rupert Maxwell, a WWII P-47 Thunderbolt fighter pilot who was shot down over Germany and spent a year as a prisoner of war. Rupert passed down many things to his family, including his love for the Lord, his love for this land, and an appreciation for the hard work it takes to care for both.
Larry and Rupert built both houses on the property, along with the barn, and their handiwork is woven into the story of this place.
Today, Larry and Beverly are avid outdoors people. We love to hunt and fish, hike, garden, cook, make soap, read, sit beside the river, and spend quiet evenings swinging on the porch. In a world that seems to move faster every day, we’re grateful for this little piece of land where we can slow down and enjoy the simple things.
Coming from a military family, Larry has lived in several places, while Beverly grew up in Michigan. Together, we have four grown children and eight grandchildren, who add even more joy to our lives.
We ’re pretty laid-back folks who love our quiet corner of the world. We recognize that this homestead is a gift from God, and we’d love to share a little piece of it with you.
So, welcome to our little corner of the world. Pull up a chair, stay awhile, and enjoy the view.
