Horse Lovers! Amazing Retreat! Log home overlooking your own beautiful pond. Loft BR. Outside hydrants, 2 Barns with some stalls in each.
Will be putting our acreage/hobby farm for sale soon, but can show early. It’s a beautiful acreage with hills, pond, hay ground, woods, and backs to a park, 17 acres m/l. Lots of space for ATVs, horse riding, etc. Completely private. This is a log cabin with open floor plan, large loft bedroom and ½ bath upstairs, 1 bedroom and full bath on main level. Wall of windows overlooking your pond and animals. 2 car attached tuck-under garage on back side, so basement is a walkout thru garage, only partially below grade. Ready for horses – have 4 different fenced areas, 2 automatic waterers, a horse barn with stalls, and high enough door/ceiling to store our RV in! 2 separate lean-to buildings for horses and 2 sheds total. Both sheds have electric and water hydrant in them. One shed contains area for chickens with convenient way to grab eggs easily and a door/ramp for them to free roam during the day. Several apple trees, large flat space where we’ve had a garden in the past. We’ve never hunted here so lots of wildlife. SIRWA and well water connected. And fiber internet installed! Also woodburning stove and wood burning fireplace for the chilly nights. Also a 30 amp plug for your RV.
Location is perfect – close to Highway 34 and less than an hour to either Mills Civic or Jordan Creek exits. It’s a beautiful drive down Highway 169 through Winterset and it’s gorgeous town square and shops on your way to this beautiful acreage. Space to store a boat and close to Green Valley Lake by Creston (25 mimutes), Three Mile Lake (10 minutes), and Twelve Mile Lake (15 minutes).
We have an unfinished addition or porch. Flooring is mostly ceramic tile, with carpet in bedrooms that needs replaced, can do flooring allowance. A few areas need some tlc . Price will depend on what’s finished, but prefer to just sell as is. It truly is a rustic feel, with full logs, no drywall, but also modern features like a dishwasher, garbage disposal, central air, etc.
Price $475,000 but depends on if as is or with projects finished. Low property taxes, only $3800/year. Another 20 acres m/l also available, mostly hay ground.
Could separate a few acres on other side of pond which is private, not visible from cabin, for potential build site.
Photo of the lot lines and Talmage Park that backs to property, the red lines is the cabin acreage. The blue lines are the additional 20 m/l acres available. We do have someone that mows/bales the hay to purchase what we need and he buys back what we don't need.
