Set atop gently rolling hills just minutes south of town, this exceptionally rare 161-acre parcel offers a remarkable blend of privacy, natural beauty, and versatility. Tucked away at the end of a hard-surface, dead-end road, the property provides a secluded setting that feels worlds away while remaining conveniently close to modern amenities. A picturesque mix of wooded acreage, productive agricultural ground, and native prairie creates a diverse landscape ideal for recreation, farming, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Meandering through the property, you’ll find abundant wildlife year-round, it a haven for nature lovers, hunters, or anyone seeking a peaceful rural escape. Due west of the house in the property's southwest corner can be found a pond nestled in the woods. At the heart of the land sits a charming farmhouse built in 1880, located approximately half a mile from the county road. This placement ensures exceptional privacy and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Whether restored to its former glory or used as a rustic retreat, the home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history. A metal workshop outbuilding provides flexible space for equipment storage, a garage, or hobby workspace, adding functionality to the property’s already impressive list of features. Properties of this size, character, and location are increasingly hard to find. Whether you envision a private estate, working farm, recreational getaway, or long-term investment, this extraordinary acreage offers endless possibilities in a truly serene setting. Offered in conjunction with 1247 N 900 Rd and 1240 N 900 Rd with 328 acres in total.
