Got $3.2 Million? This North Dakota Home Can be Yours

Housing prices in Fargo have jumped 13 percent in the last year according to real estate website Zillow.com.
 
But there seems to be a limit on how much a home can fetch in North Dakota.

We found what is considered the most expensive home for sale in North Dakota, according to Forbes.

The homeowners say they could be asking a lot more for the property.
 
Lori Anderson bought the house eight years ago, on a sprawling 55 acres in Richland County near Christine.
 

She explains, “We just wanted to have a little more peace and privacy.”
 
But now she says it’s time to sell the 4,250 square foot home, with the highest price tag for a property in North Dakota.
 
A surprised Anderson admits, “Oh, OK. I did not know that.”
 
It’s not just the house that’s for sale.

Anderson and her fiancé added an 80 by 355 foot barn and stable.

There are also cabins, ponds, and miles of trails.

Their realtor is asking $3.2 million for the whole kit and caboodle.
 
“This is a one of a kind property,” says realtor Julie Dykema
 
This property doesn’t just have room for people.

It has room for up to 20 horses, along with a wide variety of wildlife that roams the property.
 

“We see deer”, Anderson adds. “We see wild turkey. We see some things we don’t want to see sometimes like raccoon and fox.”
 
You might say $3.2 million is a hefty price tag.

After all, housing prices in the area are leaping higher every year.

But Dykema says this property is a bargain.

“We are actually selling it below what the actual value would be on this property,” she adds, “because we know in the upper Midwest the pool of buyers is very limited.”

She’s advertised the home across the tri-state region looking for a buyer.

She’ll consider selling the property in one piece, or in as many as 16 parcels, for use as a private residence, or a business.
 
“This would also be an amazing place for a bed and breakfast, a wedding venue,” she Dykema. “We have had numerous calls with people inquiring about a wedding venue out here.”
 
Anderson hopes to sell soon, as long as the new owners love the home as much as she has.
 
“I hope that they will enjoy is as much as we have,” she says. “It’s been great living out here.”
 
Anderson originally bought the home for $2.2 million.

The barn and stable they added cost $1.8 million, which means that even though it’s the most expensive home for sale in the state, she’s looking to make less money than she put into it.
