A once in a lifetime property. There will never be another like The Fort. Warm southwestern charm nestled in the freedom of South Dakota's Heartland. This structure is built like a fortress, but welcomes you with sincere warmth and light. You will notice immediately the genuine cowboy character and Midwest hospitality this property has to offer. It is a home like no other. Originally built in 1951 as a gas/service station and bus stop 3 miles from the nearest town of Wolsey, SD. It was referred to as 'Holforty's Corner' and catered to the highway travelers of the era. When the builder/owner passed, the property was sold and then left abandoned. In 1996 the property was purchased by the current owners, who have personally completed the extensive renovations turning the old gas station into a unique family home and beautiful horse property.
