A Property Fit for a Good Cause
The property was given to the McCaughey family as a gift by the Clark Company in 1998. The home has more than 5,500 square feet of living area, a spacious family room, and a huge kitchen. The interior and exterior of the property were the setting for numerous local and national media interviews near the septuplets’ birthday. According to country records, the home was assessed in 2017 at $433,100, but it went on the market for $415,000. Ruth Harbor has not disclosed the actual selling price.
Executive director Mark McDougal mentioned that the property is an excellent choice for the Ruth Harbor organization. “Not only will the Carlisle home provide more beds and enable us to serve more women and babies, but it will also allow us to dedicate each home to the specific needs and training that are unique to each program. We anticipate that the McCaugheys have built many memories in their home. It seems wonderful that new and continuing memories will be built by more young moms going forward — for themselves and their children — when they have engaged in the Ruth Harbor program,” he said.
