The birthplace of Walter Hagen is a private, peaceful creekside retreat in the beautiful Allens Creek Valley. This 1,800-square-foot farmhouse rests on six wooded acres; oak, black walnut, and hawthorn trees surround the home. The creek flows past the house, becoming the focal point of the beautiful view. Visitors hear the peaceful sound of the creek's running water from within the house. Watching the numerous birds and other wildlife from this comfortable home, one can easily forget that it is less than ten minutes away from downtown Rochester, and just minutes from some of the country's finest courses.
