Charming Country Home w/3 pole barns, only 1/4 mile from pavement

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 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.
