Nostalgic Americana with 4 Acres
|
Ever dreamt of living in a recreation of an old Texaco gas station? Well, if this niche-interest appeals to you, there happens to be one such 3-building listing in Iola, Wisconsin. Sure, there’s not much else around, but you can probably get some darn good cheese. |

Before we check out our main listing, don’t forget to find more links at the bottom of this newsletter. Today we’ve got:
-
🏈Athlete Abodes: In honor of last night’s Super Bowl, we’ve got not three but EIGHT of the most tricked-out homes for athletes of all kinds.
-
🌲Terrific Treehouses: Three tree houses so cool, you’ll want to live in them full-time.
-
🤠Surprising Saloons: Three luxury properties with authentic old-timey western saloons hidden in basements and outbuildings. Which is your favorite?
Back to our main listing… this property features a cozy cottage, a giant garage, and, just for fun, a ‘playhouse’ that could be a bar, game room, or even a hot dog hut, as the listing suggests. There’s also over 4 acres of land, complete with an already-fenced garden space. Let’s take a look.
Your Texaco station/house is only 700 square feet, but it’s well-appointed for its size. Look how adorable this is!
There’s a single bedroom that’s roomy enough for two:
And a loft for guests:
Or, maybe, a singular guest.
The kitchen is fairly large, given the size of the house, and the solid oak custom cabinetry gives it a homey feel:
Next, I’d like to introduce you to the Bus Barn:
This enormous workshop space has two bays for all your toys, and there’s a guest suite upstairs, so you can invite more friends over to play. And, surprise! There are RV hook-ups for up to six units…party time!
The last building is ready to be whatever you want to make of it. I’m picturing it with barstools and a foosball table, but it could be a man cave, she-shed, or anything in between. I’m imagining a vintage ice cream parlor to match the vibe of the Texaco station.

The main downside I can see to this listing is that it’s solidly in the middle of nowhere, and I’d bet that the winters aren’t very pleasant. But, it’s priced at $449,000, which is reasonable for the acreage.
What do you think, friends? What would you do with a garage bigger than your house?
‘Til next time!
