Description
Located just southwest of Earlham in Madison County, Iowa, this +/- 24.44-acre property pairs a fully renovated farmhouse with timber, creek frontage, and room to spread out, all within about 25 minutes of West Des Moines. The property sits on the east side of Fawn Avenue in Section 13 of Penn Township and is located within the Earlham Community School District. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse offers approximately 1,606 square feet of living space and has been renovated from top to bottom by the current owners, with roughly $250,000 invested in the work. Updates include a new roof, new siding, a new furnace, and three mini-split units for efficient heating and cooling. The bedrooms and bathrooms have all been renovated, and the home is clean and well maintained throughout. The work is done, so a new owner can skip the projects and start enjoying the property right away. The major systems that matter most on a rural property have already been addressed. A new well and items of the septic system were fixed as part of the renovation, and a new vinyl fence lines the entrance into the property. A 48 x 24 detached garage with a concrete floor provides room for vehicles, a workshop, or extra storage; a separate machine shed offers space for equipment; and a nice open metal shed with fencing is set up for cattle, sheep, or goats. Electric service is provided by MidAmerican Energy. Beyond the yard, the land offers a mix of timber and open ground with Jim Creek running through the property. Multiple natural springs are also found on the property and could feed a pond if a new owner wanted one. The creek and timber, bordered by surrounding crop fields, provide cover and water for wildlife and set up well for hunting right out the back door. There is plenty of room for gardens, trails, or a food plot, and the setting offers privacy that is hard to find this close to the metro. The acreage also gives a new owner space to park equipment, add a garden, or simply enjoy quiet evenings in the country. Location is a major strength of this property. It is about 3 miles from Earlham with easy access to Interstate 80, roughly 25 minutes to West Des Moines and about 35 minutes to downtown Des Moines. Dexter, De Soto, and Winterset are all a short drive away, and Badger Creek State Recreation Area, with a 276-acre lake and more than 700 acres of public hunting ground, is about 10 miles to the east. The adjoining +/- 75 acres of recreational land directly west across Fawn Avenue is also available. A buyer has the option to purchase both properties together for a combined +/- 99.44 acres with the home, tillable ground, timber, and Jim Creek. Renovated country homes on acreage this close to the Des Moines metro do not come along often. Contact Land Specialist Dylan Hand to schedule a private showing.
