Description

Step into a piece of living history with this one-of-a-kind rural property, once home to the original Standard Oil pumping station. Situated in Wilbern alongside Crow Creek and the BNSF railway, this distinctive property is rich with character and industrial heritage. The property features several remarkable historic structures including several ornate buildings, most notably a towering smokestack, cooling ponds, and the iconic large oil storage tankthat has since been thoughtfully repurposed for grain storage and could be converted to other dry storage. While some of the infrastructure has seen better days, some have the potential for storage, shop areas, and possible livestock opportunities. Set against a scenic country backdrop, the acreage includes just over 5 acres of established alfalfa mixed hay along with an older two-story farmhouse ready for your renovation. With road frontage wrapped around much of the property, this area would also make an excellent location to start over with your vision and building plan and would be ideal for pasture and livestock opportunities as well. Whether you're searching for a unique building site, an unforgettable photographers setting, or an opportunity to creatively repurpose a historic property, this remarkable offering invites vision and imagination. From weathered architecture to the enduring remnants of a bygone era, every corner of this property tells a story and rarely does a property with this level of history, versatility, and visual appeal come available.
