You Could Live in this Fantastic Old Minnesota Church

Hey! Wanna live in a historic church in small-town Minnesota? Well, then, I have some good news.

I came across this real estate listing just across the border from Sioux Falls in Lurvane, Minnesota. At first, I thought it was a quirky idea, but after looking at these pictures, I’m about to have a conversation with my wife. I would totally live here.

This is the former Holy Trinity Church-Episcopal in Luverne, Minnesota. In 2016 the shrinking congregation of the church decided that after 125 years it was time for a change.

Now it’s up for sale and has been remodeled as a home.

Our neighbors in Minnesota may boast of being the home of 10,000 lakes. Here in South Dakota, we have hundreds of our own. This random website says we have 131 lakes in South Dakota. We'll just take their word for it.

There's nothing like getting out on the lake. On a board, on a jet ski, or just swimming in the waves.

Just don't think about what's in the water. While you're at it, don't think about how deep the lake is. How far down into the murky depths of South Dakota?

But that is an interesting question. One to think about while we are on solid land. Just how deep are the lakes in South Dakota?

To keep things in perspective, Lake Superior has an average depth of 500 feet, and at its deepest is just over 1300 feet deep.
