Description
This home and acreage will make the perfect retreat for those looking to escape the country! It's located directly across the road from the Lake Darling State Park north boundary, a highly desirable recreational park in southeast Iowa! This listing will appeal to nearly anyone who desires a fine acreage in the countryside, whether you want to live here full time or have a weekend getaway.
The as-is home has 1,408 square feet of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom. It has some recent improvements and brand new septic. There are bass, bluegill, and catfish in the 2-acre pond, which has a nice mowed lane across the dam, a brand new doc, and an aeration system. Surrounding the pond are native grasses and sapling hardwoods from the four acres of Conservation Reserve Program, compensating the property owner for promoting soil and water conservation with wildlife habitat.
Lake Darling offers fun for all ages with its miles of shoreline, hiking trails, swimming beach, playground, and cabins. Hunting is not allowed there except for a three-day controlled antlerless hunt, and it's no secret that there are big bucks that roam the area. You’ll have very convenient access to the park from this property.
There are also 2.5 acres of tillable land, which gives you an area for farming, gardening, or even planting a food plot. If you’ve waited for a quaint and manageable recreational getaway or a place to live in the countryside of southeast Iowa, please call the listing agent Ben Harshyne. Showings are by appointment only.
