Welcome to “The Prettiest Farm in Iowa” – 1701 Centennial Rd, Ossian, IA Featured by Our Iowa magazine in Summer 2010, this one-of-a-kind 12-acre sanctuary is the embodiment of rural elegance, thoughtful stewardship, and peaceful seclusion. Meticulously maintained over 30+ years, every inch of this estate tells a story of care, craftsmanship, and vision. Spanning more than 4,600 square feet of finished living space, the 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home blends modern comfort with timeless style. The heart of the home boasts a beautifully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, flowing into open living spaces perfect for entertaining or relaxing by panoramic country views. The private primary suite wing is a retreat of its own, complete with a spa-like bathroom, walk-in closet, and attached laundry. Step outside, and the magic continues. A sparkling, spring-fed 3-acre pond—stocked with fish—invites lazy afternoons and pontoon rides to your very own island gazebo. Enjoy sunrises from the boat dock, cozy nights in the studio cabin, or host unforgettable gatherings under the camping shelter. For the hobbyist or entrepreneur, this property delivers: a fully finished workshop with a garage repair bay, a massive 60’x81’ machine shed, and a heated 40’x64’ storage building featuring a full-service RV wash bay. Whether you’re restoring classic cars, housing equipment, or running a home-based business—there’s room to dream here. Geothermal heating and cooling, a sizable solar array, and newer infrastructure throughout reflect a commitment to sustainability and comfort. From the massive attached garage to the manicured grounds, this is a property you simply must see to believe. Private. Pristine. Unparalleled. Your forever farm awaits.
