Tucked into one of the most scenic areas of Henry County, near Cedar Creek and the Skunk River, this property offers homestead potential with a very nice farmhouse on a spacious acreage. Its the kind of place that appeals to someone who wants to live on land that feels large enough to experience true freedom, but not so big that it's overwhelming to manage. What a beautiful setup this place is and the time of year just simply does not do the property justice compared to the colors of spring, summer and fall around here.The landscape is quintessential southern Iowa - gently rolling pasture and hay meadows, timbered draws that add character, two ponds and views across the countryside. The land lays well for grazing, gardening, a sustainable setup and getting the most out of each season when youre living in the country.Built in 2019, the 1.5-story farmhouse-style home offers over 4,400 finished square feet with 5 bedrooms, and strikes a balance between comfort and craftsmanship. The primary bedroom is located on the main level, with three bedrooms upstairs and one in the basement, with additional flexible rooms in the finished basement. Bathroom layout includes a finished full bath upstairs, a finished half bath on the main level, and unfinished full baths on both the main level and basement, allowing room for customization if desired.Interior finishes are warm and timeless, with the red oak hardwood floors and solid wood doors. In addition to the primary suite, the main level has a dining room, a formal gathering area that is open to the loft, an unfinished kitchen area, and an additional great room that is used as a home office. The finished basement includes a cozy TV room, kitchen and space ideal for a home gym, office, or guest accommodations.Utilities are well-suited for modern rural living, including reliable rural water service and high-speed fiber internet that is available along the road. A 90-foot wraparound concrete porch is a defining feature of the home and an easy place to enjoy quiet mornings and evenings, watching the light change across the land.Outside, the property is set up for a sustainable farm-to-table lifestyle. The pasture is fenced for livestock, with approximately two acres currently enclosed and a loading yard in place. A newer perimeter fence runs along the northern boundary. Additional improvements include a 24x40 pole building with electric that is used as a wood shop, an RV electric hookup, mature fruit trees, and a tall windmill.This is a refined homestead acreage offering a newer home, usable pasture, water features and a practical outbuilding - all within a short drive of Mount Pleasant.
