In 1951, Albert and Iva Sauls purchased this farm and built a life on it with their own hands. Albert felled trees from the property, milled them into lumber, and raised a chicken coop, corn crib, silo, and barn. He poured the foundation for the farmhouse himself and framed it with timber from the land and salvaged boxcar lumber. Around 1958, the dam and pond were added, turning the farm into the family's recreational hub for generations of Wehling holidays and gatherings. After Albert and Iva passed, the family leased the cropland to neighboring farmers and continued using the place as their gathering ground. Now the next chapter belongs to someone new.
Offered in five tracts totaling approximately 230± acres, the property combines productive ground, strong recreational features, and a settled homestead. Farm Service Agency figures indicate 76.68 acres of productive cropland, with soils composed primarily of Useful, Haymond, and Union silt loams. The brick ranch home offers three bedrooms, one bath, a basement with a bath, a one-car attached garage, and an attached four-season room. The home is solid and ready for updates. Older outbuildings remain on site, reflecting the farm's working history.
A stocked three-acre lake holds catfish, bass, and crappie, and a rock-bottom creek winds through the property, complementing excellent hunting and recreational ground. Frontage on hard-surfaced Krenning Road provides easy access. The farm lies two miles northeast of Beaufort, fifteen minutes west of Union, and forty-five miles from Chesterfield Valley.
