Description
This beautiful home and country acreage is in the northwest corner of Fremont County, situated in the Loess Hills, with easy access to I-29! This property will appeal to nearly anyone looking for a fine acreage in the countryside, whether you want to live there full-time, use it as a recreational getaway, or even rent it out as an investment property.
The rustic 1 ½ story log home with exposed beams has 2,346 square feet of living space. The main level consists of a modern kitchen, a vaulted family room with large picture windows, ½ bathroom, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The second level features an open loft, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The unfinished full basement provides ample room for storage, a hobby area, or a rec room and houses the home’s furnace, hot water heater, water softener, and well pressure tank.
A large 40’ x 28’ detached garage modeled after a traditional barn design features two overhead doors (one double & one single) for three vehicles. The second level is a storage room with an extra wide staircase for easy and safe access. The garage is located just north of the home and has electricity and water.
If you want to beat the hot Iowa summers, this property has you covered! An in-ground pool was installed in 2022 and is conveniently located next to a 24’ x 16 Cleary utility building that doubles as a pool house and outdoor recreational building. The entertaining possibilities are endless with this combination.
The property has a great balance of native grasses, mature hardwood timber, and open areas. The open areas could easily be turned into large organic gardens, wildflower gardens, warm-season native grasses, or even wildlife food plots. There are nearly 27 acres of Conservation Reserve Program CP1 & CP2. This program compensates the property owner in exchange for promoting soil and water conservation with wildlife habitat.
The Loess Hills in Southwest Iowa are legendary for producing top-end whitetails and are known for their healthy wild turkey populations. With just under 15 acres of timber on the property, there are many locations for the savvy bowhunter or firearms hunter to get close to a big buck or strutting longbeard!
If you’re in the market for a manageable-sized acreage with a beautiful home, farm income, great hunting and recreation right out your back door, this is it! To schedule a private tour of this property, call the listing agents, Kyle Karcher and Garret Armstrong, with Whitetail Properties Real Estate. Private showings are by appointment only with advanced notice.
