Benton, Iowa
Nestled on the outskirts of the quaint small town of Benton, this property presents a rare opportunity to own approximately 15.6 acres of land in Southern Iowa. While the house on the property is currently uninhabitable and in need of restoration due to soot damage (the furnace puff backed and blew soot throughout the house the furnace will need replaced and the house will need a thorough cleaning), the location offers a peaceful neighborhood with a gorgeous view of the scenic landscape of Southern Iowa and an endless potential for those seeking a rural retreat or an investment opportunity. With approximately 11.2 acres of row crop, this property provides a return on your investment!!
Though the 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom house currently requires significant restoration, it presents an opportunity for a dedicated buyer with an appreciation for preservation.

HOWEVER this property is now priced at bare land value!!
