    What's special

    Imagine waking up to birdsong and the rustle of trees. Tucked into 10 peaceful acres outside Melcher-Dallas, this well-maintained 4-bed, 2-bath home gives you space to breathe and live in rhythm with nature. Inside, the open kitchen, living, and dining areas feature hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfectly placed between two sliding doors that open to a large, west-facing deck—ideal for stunning sunsets. The layout is smart and flexible, with two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, plus two more bedrooms and a second bath in the walkout lower level. A heated 40x60 shop is a major bonus, featuring nearly 800 sq ft of open workspace beyond vehicle storage. Two 10x16 remote-controlled overhead doors allow easy access, and the extra-wide design fits up to four pickup trucks side-by-side with room to spare for projects and tools. Connected to the shop, a 1-bed, 1-bath guest quarters offers options for multi-generational living, rental income, or visitors. Outside, you'll find a unique smokehouse, fruit trees, and a 1.5-mile private trail winding through timber full of native Iowa wildlife. A brand-new septic system will be installed, and a home warranty is included for peace of mind. With 7.6 acres enrolled in the Forest Reserve Program, you'll enjoy preserved land and lower property taxes. A peaceful acreage retreat where you can live off the land and leave the noise behind—opportunities like this are few and far between!
