Step back in time with this beautifully restored historic home, circa 1887, known as The Railroad House. Located near the site of the old train depot in downtown Doniphan, this unique property was completely restored in the summer of 2025 while preserving its historic character.
During the height of the railroad tie industry, trainmen are said to have rested here while railroad ties were being loaded. Today, the home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a spacious vaulted living room, and a large kitchen with dining area and all-new appliances. The all-electric home is well insulated and features an efficient window heat pump system.
The property sits alongside and is integrated into the Ripley County Heritage Homestead area, surrounded by local history including an 1800s homestead, schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, barn, and historic city cemetery.
Just steps from Riverfront Park and the Current River, you'll have convenient access to the boat launch, walking trails, running track, ball fields, soccer fields, pickleball courts, picnic shelters, and more. Kayak and tube outfitters, campgrounds, downtown restaurants, shops, antique and flea markets, and the courthouse are all within easy walking distance.
With its combination of historic character, complete restoration, and prime location near the Current River, The Railroad House offers excellent potential as a vacation home, short-term rental, or one-of-a-kind residence.
