The two photos below show the "new" Homestead under construction in 1988. While the new house closely replicated the old one, it was built forty feet further north and the ground was built up higher beneath it. Additions were a concrete foundation and a small garage (under the second floor porch with the log railing).

Jim
and Carol Gardner rebuilt the Homestead from the ground up in 1988 and
lived in the house while the ranch was being developed and initially
marketed. The photo to the right shows the original building before it
was torn down. For more photos of the original Homestead see the 
At left, the Homestead site after demolition. The
painted house is the present-day guest house before the Gardners added
log siding. The old barn is visible to the left and the small
workshop added by Claude Vandevert senior is at the far left of the
photograph. The tree was still healthy and in place in 2008.
