Welcome to Your Peaceful Retreat - 10625 N 1280th St, Newton. Some places are simply a home. Others are a way of life. Welcome to your Peaceful Retreat, where peaceful country living, abundant wildlife, beautiful woods, and a thoughtfully transformed home come together on 8.66 rolling acres in Jasper County. As you make your way down the newly graveled lane, you'll immediately feel the difference. There's room to breathe, room to explore, and room to make memories. Rolling acreage leads into wooded areas filled with wildlife, making this property a true hunter's paradise. Deer, wild turkey, squirrels, and other wildlife are frequent visitors, and there's even a deer stand tucked away in the bottoms for those who enjoy hunting and the great outdoors. The home itself has been beautifully transformed, blending comfortable country living with stylish updates throughout. Inside, you'll find a spacious 4-bedroom, 21/2-bath home with plenty of room for everyone. The layout includes a dedicated office, family room, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, and sunporch-giving you spaces to gather, relax, work, entertain, and simply enjoy the view. The heart of the home has received some wonderful updates, including new kitchen appliances, new countertops, and a beautiful new backsplash. The interior has been freshly painted and thoughtfully updated with plenty of style, while the exterior of the home and barns have also been painted, giving the property a fresh, cared-for appearance. One of the first things you'll appreciate when coming through the door is the amazing drop zone-the perfect place to kick off muddy boots, hang coats, organize everyday essentials, and keep country life from taking over the rest of the house. Step outside and the possibilities really open up. The completely new side deck, torn off and rebuilt, creates a wonderful space for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Trails wind through the woods, while four-wheeler trails provide even more ways to explore your own piece of the country. Gather around your private fire pit, roast marshmallows, tell stories, and watch the stars come out. For those who dream of having room for hobbies, animals, equipment, or a little bit of everything, this property delivers. The impressive 62' x 34' machine shed provides substantial space for equipment, storage, projects, or recreational toys. There's also a charming she shed, a chicken house ready for chickens, and plenty of acreage to make your homesteading dreams a reality. Goats, chickens, gardens, outdoor projects-you have the space and freedom to create the lifestyle you've always wanted. Recent improvements include updated exterior water spigots, a new water heater installed this year, new gravel in the lane, and so much more. But perhaps the best feature of all is something that can't be measured in square feet. It's the feeling. It's the quiet mornings. The sound of wildlife moving through the woods. Watching deer across the acreage. Walking the trails. Riding four-wheelers. Gathering around the fire pit. Enjoying coffee on the deck. Having room for your animals, your hobbies, your family, and your dreams. 10625 N 1280th St isn't just a property-it's a place to live the good life. Come experience this Peaceful Retreat for yourself and discover what it means to have your own little piece of peace, privacy, and country living in Jasper County.
