A 2.4-acre property in Wells County that received national attention eight years ago is headed for the auction block. The property features a 25-foot silo that has been painted to look like a “Minion” from the “Despicable Me” movies.
Our partners at WPTA-TV report the Stark family has owned the property at 9841 North 750 East in the town of Ossian for more than 40 years, but painted the silo in 2016. It has since become a popular attraction, gaining recognition from The Washington Post, ABC News and Entertainment Weekly.
The property also includes a 2,300-square-foot home, detached garage and bank barn.
An online public auction is being held by Krueckeberg Auction And Realty. Bidding is now open and will close on Aug. 18. An open house will take place Monday, Aug. 5 from 5-6 p.m.
