Own a piece of Austin History. This almost 50 acre parcel has endless opportunities. What's believed to be the oldest structure on the property is the brick building - built sometime around 1868, the Mower County Poor Farm building. The Sheriff's Youth Program originated here in the 1960's and grew throughout the state. There are 3 buildings which formerly housed the youth with 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms each. Stable and multiple out buildings + shop. Gymnasium surrounded by classrooms. Approx. 34 acres of tillable agricultural land. Legend has it, there are 2 smaller buildings on the land that apparently used to store dynamite and fuses. NW edge of the property abuts 300+ feet of the Cedar River. Situated just outside of city limits. Various heavy equipment and toys could be negotiated with the property. This property appraised for $990,000 when purchased in 2007. Lots of possibilities ...
