Property Description

Just 10 minutes from Nashua, this beautifully maintained acreage offers the perfect combination of country living, privacy, and convenience. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the pride of ownership that shines through in the manicured yard, mature landscaping, and the timeless curb appeal of this charming 1928 farmhouse. Lovingly cared for by the current owners for more than 30 years, this rare 3-owner property has been thoughtfully updated, expanded, and meticulously maintained throughout its history. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering a functional layout with plenty of space to spread out. A beautiful mudroom connects the oversized 2-stall attached garage to both the home and kitchen, creating a practical everyday entry. The garage also features a fully functioning secondary kitchen complete with sink plumbing, making it an ideal space for canning, food preparation, hobbies, entertaining, or additional storage and workspace. The kitchen was previously remodeled a little while back and showcases custom oak cabinetry by Welter's Custom Cabinets of Nashua, along with a matching custom bathroom vanity and solid-core interior doors. The main floor also includes a formal dining room, a spacious living room, a welcoming front porch that would make an excellent sitting room or office, and a private primary suite complete with a full bathroom and main-floor laundry. The second bathroom features a relaxing jetted tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Upstairs, you'll find two additional generously sized bedrooms. Outside, the improvements continue with an impressive lineup of outbuildings. The former corn crib has been converted into an 832-square-foot insulated workshop with a concrete floor. You'll also find an 864-square-foot machine shed and a 45' x 72' Morton building offering 3,240 square feet of storage and workspace. Approximately 25' x 45' of the Morton building is set up as a workshop where the current owner successfully operated a business for many years, complete with an attached office space. The property has been beautifully established with mature landscaping, a planted windbreak, and a unique grain-bin gazebo firepit area that creates the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by the beauty of rural Iowa, this acreage offers the serenity of country living while keeping modern conveniences just a short drive away. With very little left to do, this is a property you can simply move into and enjoy.
