Description

If you've been looking for a country home or hobby farm acreage that is beautiful & scenic, quiet and secluded yet has quick and easy access to the conveniences of town, this Marion County, Iowa 30.34 acres +/- with a charming farmhouse fits that bill very well and is less than 5 miles from Knoxville (just over half a mile from hard surface Old Hwy. 92). What about a place that has legit good hunting opportunities with a 5 minute walk out the back door but not too big to break the bank, and close enough to town that you can get in a quick hunt before or after work? Bingo. Deer sign was all over this place and I saw a group of 6 deer in the back meadow just after sunrise on my first walk of the property. See the buck pics in the listing for evidence of quality. There are some hidden open acres on the property that would make fantastic food plot locations for hunting season. The landowner says there are also turkey, pheasant, and she frequently sees a covey of quail playing in the yard! And there is a beautiful stocked fishing pond within sight of the house!

The property would be great for horses, cattle, or hay production. Two of the meadows have been in an alfalfa hay mix and the remainder are in grass pasture. There are several older outbuildings on the property and a couple of them could be made to work well for stables/animal lodging without much work.

The 2,366 sq ft, 2-story, 4 br, 1.5 ba Farmhouse is Charming and in well above average condition, with lots of windows and natural light. Central Air and Propane furnace for heat, nice yard area for garden, and surrounded by big shade trees. Master bedroom on the main level, 3 bedrooms upstairs. Main level bathroom with toilet/sink/shower, half bath on the 2nd story with toilet and sink. Utility room & Mud room. Outside deck to sit on and take in the country views. There is also a detached 3-car garage with concrete floor. Property is just over a half mile from hard-surface Old Hwy. 92, only 4.5 miles from Knoxville and 36 miles from Des Moines.
