Set on 18 acres along a hard-surface road, this property is both beautiful and practical. Rolling hills and a pond create a scenic backdrop, and the fenced pasture is perfect for animals or simply enjoying time outside. The land feels open and welcoming, with convenient access to nearby communities—10 minutes to Albia, 20 to Lake Rathbun, 25 to Chariton, and 40 to Knoxville.
Two impressive outbuildings add versatility. The 2,968-square-foot barn is set up for animals and a 3,000-square-foot building (2023) offers plenty of room for equipment, storage, or a workshop.
The two-story walkout home has been remodeled, with an open main floor that flows between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Hickory hardwood flooring runs throughout, and two fireplaces—one in the living room and one in the lower-level family room—add warmth and character. The kitchen is beautifully designed with granite countertops, ceiling-height cabinetry, pull-out drawers, hidden toe-kick storage and a second wall oven. The main floor includes a bathroom alongside the primary living spaces. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including the newly remodeled primary ensuite. The walkout lower level expands the living space with a family room, third bathroom, nonconforming fourth bedroom, kitchenette, laundry, and direct access to the back patio.
This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by space, scenery, and the freedom to enjoy the land. Come take a look and imagine your life here!
