Featuring a spacious 3-bedroom home, multiple quality outbuildings, established CRP habitat, and a fully stocked 2.7+ acre pond, this property was thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and outdoor enjoyment. Whether you’re searching for a full-time country residence, hobby farm, recreational getaway, or multi-use acreage within easy reach of Des Moines, this property delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market. The setting is ideal—rolling southern Iowa countryside paired with paved access, scenic landscape, productive habitat, and a private pond loaded with bass and crappie. From relaxing evenings on the deck overlooking the water to mornings spent hunting pheasants, quail, and deer right out your back door, this acreage offers the kind of versatility that appeals to outdoorsmen, families, and investors alike. Home Built less than five years ago, the home offers approximately 1,944 square feet on the main level plus a finished basement, creating an expansive and highly functional layout with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, with an additional bedroom and a non-conforming office/flex room (has egress window / no closet) in the walkout basement, providing an ideal layout for families, guests, home office use, or multi-generational living. Inside, the home was designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Oversized bathrooms, wide hallways, a hidden walk-in pantry, and spacious laundry room create a very open and functional feel throughout. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home and features quartz countertops, a large center island with built-in storage, hickory cabinetry with chestnut stain, and abundant cabinet space. Flooring throughout the home includes durable luxury vinyl plank with carpeted living spaces and tile accents surrounding the fireplace area. Constructed with 2×6 walls and energy-efficient airtight windows, the home was built with both comfort and efficiency in mind. The finished basement adds valuable living and storage space while featuring an efficient wood-burning stove that further reduces heating costs. Additional highlights include an indoor concrete storm shelter/cellar room, satellite setup, and abundant storage throughout the home. Exterior improvements were built for both durability and curb appeal, featuring pre-painted Hardie-board siding and a bronze-colored steel roof. Outdoor living was equally prioritized with a 24’ x 14’ composite deck complete with premium Alumarail railing, a covered patio area underneath, fenced backyard, and convenient under-deck storage space for firewood and equipment. A doggy door directly from the dining area to the fenced backyard adds everyday convenience for pet owners. The property also includes established landscaping with approximately 110 planted trees of various species along with additional shrubs and decorative plantings around the home. Garage & Bonus Storage The attached oversized two-door garage was specifically designed to accommodate full-size trucks and equipment with tall overhead doors, substantial built-in shelving, and a large built-in workbench. One of the more unique features is the attached 25’ x 10’3” vented bonus room currently used for outdoor gear and equipment storage. This versatile space could easily serve as a hobby room, workshop extension, gun room, climate-controlled storage area, or recreational space. Above the garage is an additional attic storage area, providing even more room for seasonal items and long-term storage needs. Machine Shed & Outbuildings The property includes a highly functional 48’ x 32’ machine shed with an attached 15’ x 20’ lean-to on the west side. The building features concrete flooring, large overhead access, a substantial metal workbench with built-in shelving, and ample room for tractors, boats, ATVs, hunting gear, or equipment storage. The machine shed also features a matching bronze-colored steel roof, creating a cohesive appearance across the property improvements while providing long-term durability and low maintenance ownership. Together with the attached garage and additional storage areas, the improvements on this property provide exceptional utility for landowners, outdoorsmen, hobby farmers, or anyone needing space for equipment and recreational vehicles. Land & Pond The land itself offers an outstanding blend of recreation, wildlife habitat, and scenic beauty. 9.81 acres are currently enrolled in CRP, creating excellent cover and habitat for pheasants, quail, deer, and other wildlife, while helping to offset taxes with the annual $2,193 payment. The owners report frequent wildlife activity throughout the property, making this an excellent recreational acreage with year-round enjoyment. The centerpiece of the farm is the impressive 2.7+ acre stocked pond, constructed in 2022 with depths reaching approximately 23 to 25 feet in the main channel and 3 to 10 feet around the outer edges. The pond has been extensively stocked with bass, crappie, bluegill, including grass carp which were recently added to help maintain water quality and vegetation control. Rather than starting solely with small fingerlings, the owner strategically introduced mature fish sourced from nearby private ponds to establish an immediate, high-quality fishery. As a result, the pond already offers impressive catchable fish, including numerous 3-pound-class bass and hand-sized crappie. Feeder minnows were also added to create a strong forage base, helping accelerate fish growth and support long-term pond health. The result is an exceptional recreational fishing opportunity right out the back door. White rock shoreline accents, a newer dock, and surrounding grass habitat create an incredibly attractive and functional outdoor setting. For hunters, a permanent deer blind located north of the home overlooking the terrace system provides an ideal setup during the rut and late-season hunting opportunities.
