Property Description

If you've been searching for a place where you can spread out, raise animals, hunt, garden, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside without being far from town, this 24 +/- acre property deserves a look. Located on pavement and less than 9 miles from Winterset, it offers an outstanding combination of quality improvements, usable land, and a setting that's hard to find.

Built in 2023, the ranch home was designed with both comfort and practicality in mind. It offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, plus an additional non-conforming bedroom, with approximately 2,800 square feet of finished living space and another 2,800 square feet of unfinished basement ready for storage or future expansion. The home features ICF construction for exceptional efficiency and durability, while the attached garage was built with 2x6 walls and spray foam insulation. A solar panel system currently powers the boiler and electricity in the home and buildings.

The oversized three-door garage is a standout feature, offering 2,685 square feet with in-floor heat, floor drains, and overhead storage space. A heated mudroom, laundry room, and full bathroom connect the garage to the home, creating the perfect transition after chores, working in the shop, or spending time outdoors.

The outbuildings are equally impressive. The 120'x36' insulated steel building, also built in 2023, includes an office and tack room and is currently set up for horses, while the insulated 32'x16' chicken coop with its own storage room is ready for your next flock. The entire property is fenced for horses or livestock, making it easy to move right in and put it to use.

Outside, you'll find two enormous established gardens with plenty of room to grow your own food, along with a beautiful mix of open pasture and timber that creates excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Whether your passion is riding horses, hobby farming, hunting, or simply enjoying country life, this property offers the flexibility to make it your own.

With agricultural zoning, annual property taxes of just $3,656, and located in the Winterset School District, this is the kind of property that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
