This beautiful 24.47 Acres +/- property is chock full of features: Scenic Ridgetop Views, Good Deer Hunting, 3 BR/2 BA Manufactured Home, Horse Barn & Pasture, near Public Horse Trails, and Quiet and Secluded but less than ½ mile from Hwy. 65 pavement, 11 miles from Chariton and all services, and an easy commute to work at 29 miles to Indianola and 47 miles to Des Moines!
This would make a good hobby farm, and is already set up nicely for horses, with a 40x60 metal Horse Barn with concrete floor, built in 2010, complete with 4 box stalls, wash bay, and tack room. There is a fenced “horse pasture lot” that is approximately 2 ½ acres, with a 12x24 covered lean-to shelter. The property is only 2 miles east from the special equestrian campground and miles of horseback riding trails in the Whitebreast Unit of the Stephens State Forest!
The property has perimeter fencing on all but the south side, and would be easy to finish. There is currently a verbal arrangement with a local farmer to hay the pasture and split the bales with the owner.
There is a great history of big bucks on the property and incredible hunting opportunity literally “right out the back door!” There is a healthy turkey population as well! The property is in well-known Iowa Nonresident Deer Zone 5. There’s a great spot for a food plot on the south end of the property at the absolute most hidden possible spot!

New roof shingles were installed in 2020, and the hot water heater is new from 2025. Special house features are a whirlpool tub with jets in master bathroom, kitchen with large walk-in pantry, massive master bedroom with large walk-in closet, and ability to use either an electric or a propane stovetop oven (current stove is electric). There is a propane hot water heater and the 500 gallon propane tank is owned, not leased. Clarke County Electric co-op provides the electric service and there is Rathbun Rural Water.

The interior and exterior were both completely re-done within approximately the last 10 years. The main living area is open and spacious. The kitchen has good counter and cabinet space, a large walk-in pantry, and heated floor tiles for those chilly mornings in Winter!
The main bedroom on the ground floor has an en-suite bathroom with double sinks, whirlpool tub, heated tile floors, tiled walk-in shower and walk-in closet. There is another bedroom (currently being used as a sewing room) on the main floor with large walk-in closet, a half bathroom, laundry room with washer/dryer hook-ups, and a very large concrete floored mud room off the kitchen area.
On the spacious 2nd story there are 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom with double sinks.
There is a full basement with wood burning forced air furnace/ac/utilities and lots of storage space for any number of things.
There are multiple outbuildings for a variety of uses. A 44x52x13 horse barn with concrete floors and large hay loft, metal roof and siding, built in 1976. A 36x85x14 finished pole barn with concrete floors (including duralast epoxy coating in half the area), metal siding and metal roofing, 200-amp electric panel, built in 1999. This barn also has a 20x12 finished addition added in 2021 that would make a nice office, man cave, summer kitchen for canning, or mother-in-law apartment. Lastly, there is a practically new 50x80 pole barn built in 2024 with concrete floors, metal roof and siding, a 20x24 office space with half bathroom, and in-floor heat in the whole building! These multiple outbuildings can be used for animals, regular storage, farm equipment storage, or for business purposes (current usage).
There are nice mature oak trees for shade and beauty in the yard, a large garden space with great soil, fire pit, fruit trees, and a nice tree screen between the house and the road for additional privacy, quiet, and protection from road dust.
There is a fenced area behind the horse barn that would be great for cattle, horses or goats.
This unique property is secluded yet close to pavement, in a beautiful natural setting, and practically useful. If you’re looking for a nice country acreage in southern Iowa with an easy distance to town, this would be a good property to check out!
