This 9.75 +/- acre Lucas County property sits in a lovely, quiet country setting, but only ¼ mile from pavement at the Derby Hwy. and 9 miles from Chariton with all major services. 38 miles from Indianola and 56 miles from Des Moines make it easy commute distance for work in those areas. Country living in a spacious home on an acreage with mature oak trees, a nice yard, large garden space, fruit trees, fenced-in area for cattle, horses or goats, a horse barn with concrete floor and hay loft, and 2 modern pole barns with concrete floors. The property would make a fantastic hobby farm.
The two-story farmhouse with basement was originally built in 1930 and has 4,142 sq feet of living space, with 6 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a half bath.

The 45' x 60' shop features concrete floors, overhead doors, and ample workspace, ideal for equipment storage, projects, or operations. A 30' x 60' livestock building adds valuable winter protection and flexibility for your herd.
