Dream Shop and Hobby Farm Set-Up in Madison County

Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet, private drive in the heart of Madison County lies this stunning 14.86 +/- acre property that perfectly balances rural charm with modern functionality. Located just 12 miles from Winterset and only 38 miles from the Des Moines metro, this versatile homestead offers a rare combination of seclusion, convenience, and top-tier infrastructure.

At the heart of the property is a brand-new 36’x48’ barn complete with a hay loft and space for 5 or more stalls, making it ideal for equestrian or livestock enthusiasts. Adjacent is a massive 40’x100’ shop that’s equally impressive, featuring solar power, in-floor heating, a finished office, and a bathroom—perfect for a home-based business, workshop, or the serious hobbyist.

The newly constructed 1,440-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfortable living with room to grow, thanks to a new septic system rated for a 5-bedroom home. Outside, the land is thoughtfully divided into two separately fenced pastures—approximately 2.5 and 3.5 acres—as well as more than 2 acres of hay ground. Whether you’re looking to farm, raise animals, or simply enjoy wide-open space, this property is ready for it all.

Abundant wildlife and strong deer traffic make this a fantastic hunting retreat, offering the kind of peace and privacy that's hard to find yet still within easy reach of the city. Whether you're seeking a functional acreage or a place to build your dream estate, this Madison County gem delivers on every level.
