About Ann Hoffert
My father purchased this property in 1945 when he started farming. My father was a self-made successful businessman. He was prominent in North Dakota politics. I was raised on the farm along with one brother. After graduating as a nurse from UND, I went to San Francisco for a couple of years and then to Vermont. I later returned to ND to enroll in the Nurse Practitioner program at UND. While in ND, I met my future husband. In 1986, my husband and myself and our 4 daughters moved to the farm and into the home in which I grew up. My parents lived partially in Texas and partially in our home town of Carrington, 10 miles from the farm. I continued to work in my profession until I started Pipestem Creek, a wholesale manufacture of hand-made edible birdfeeders. We had great marketing success, leading to my filming a segment with Martha Stewart. Since Pipestem Creek stopped manufacturing the edible birdfeeders, we have developed Pipestem Creek Bed and Birding. The gardens on the farm are a focus, providing a beautiful and serene setting for guests.

Big, beautiful wide open property!
The owner and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Super fast refund on the deposit was much appreciated.
I really liked how the house was decorated, lots of old antiques gave it a very cozy warm atmosphere.
There wasn't anything I didn't like and I would highly recommend this property.
