If you've been dreaming of owning an acreage without stretching your budget, this 4-bedroom home offers an opportunity that's becoming harder to find. Located in the Martensdale-St. Marys School District, this property combines country living with a convenient commute to the Des Moines metro. Situated on 5 wooded acres on pavement, this home offers year-round access with a beautiful timbered backyard that creates a scenic backdrop. The mature timber is home to deer and turkey. Enjoy hunting, hiking, wildlife watching, mushroom hunting, or simply relaxing in your piece of Iowa countryside. Inside are four main-level bedrooms, original hardwood floors, a primary bedroom, abundant natural light, and closet space. There's flexibility for a growing family, guest rooms, or a dedicated home office, with opportunity to update and customize over time. The full walkout basement provides exceptional storage and future potential. Plumbing is in place for an additional bathroom, making it easier to expand the home's living space and add value. Outside, the 16' x 42' barn offers storage for equipment, hobbies, recreational gear, or cattle. Two adjoining parcels are also available. One offers level, tillable ground; the other features rolling hills ideal for recreation or grazing cattle. Both offer potential as future building sites with pavement entries. Whether you're looking for your first acreage, a place to build equity, or room to grow, this home offers exceptional potential.
