Welcome to 3040 Trenton Avenue—an affordable and move-in-ready acreage just outside of Macksburg, offering 1.43 acres of peaceful country living with only a half mile of gravel. Acreages like this are in high demand, and it's easy to see why: whether you're looking for your first home in the country or a spot to expand in the future, this one checks all the boxes.
This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home has seen several updates over the past five years, including a new roof just three years ago. You'll appreciate the good-sized bedrooms and bath, easy-to-clean vinyl flooring throughout, and the added convenience of a north-side entry that leads directly to the basement or serves as the perfect mudroom.
Enjoy summer evenings on the back deck, or take advantage of the detached single-car garage and additional shed for extra storage or a potential kennel. Part of the acreage is currently in alfalfa, providing a small income stream through a local farmer.
Affordable acreages like this are becoming increasingly rare—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of the peaceful Adair County countryside.
