The Mix house is a National Historic Landmark home designated by the Dept. of the Interior in 1994. It is currently a popular vacation rental through VRBO as the Nauvoo Mix House and can also be seen on nauvoohouserentals.com. The home has a working fireplace and a separate wood burning stove. A second home lies east of the house built in 2012. That home has 1350 sq. ft., 3 beds 1 full and a 1/2 bath, open living, kitchen, dining and has an attached 2 car garage. A large carport and utility storage room are also attached. An attached 480 sq ft. workshop with half bath, separate natural gas furnace and window ac provides the handyman space. In addition, a covered 8 x 50 porch is on the west side of the house to enjoy the quiet country setting. The property is surveyed 1/3 acre and is surrounded by a cedar split rail fence. A reconstructed 1830s brick summer kitchen with Rumford cooking fireplace, beehive (bustle oven), cellar storage as well as a loft is just to the rear of the house. The Mix house has a covered porch on the front and rear as well as a covered, handmade, oak swing in the yard that provide areas to enjoy the country setting within the city limits. A raised bed garden enclosed by cedar split rail fencing as well as a kitchen herb garden outside the kitchen door round out the property. Both homes have a separate septic, city water and natural gas heat and central air and full laundry rooms. A native stone and brick firepit with cooking trestle is just outside the summer kitchen. 11 mature persimmon trees shade the entire property. Owner is a professional historical restoration contractor and woodworker. The restoration work here is stunning. You are 2 minutes from the Mississippi river at the end of Parley Street (exodus crossing site). The oldest operating winery in the state is a 2 minute walk from the house down Parley. A 5 minute walk down Parley puts you in the state park. This is a smoke-free, pet-free home. At or near the listing price, we intend to leave the Mix House as a turn-key property for rentals. All dishes, linens, towels, kitchen appliances, hand-loomed rugs, most antique and custom made furnishings, majority of the antiques and appointments as well as cleaning equipment would remain for continuity of the home. *Please note the Zestimate is still being based on a listing for this property over a decade ago before we purchased it and made improvements. Additionally, the Zillow tax estimate is inaccurate. Actual taxes paid for tax year 2018 was $3779.00 We have contacted Zillow to remove the old listing and make the corrections. Note 2: Zillow has responded and is bound by county records. Since the 1830s, this property has straddled the township line between Nauvoo and Sonora. As a result, two tax bills are received, one for each portion of the property that is in the respective township. Zillow tells me they cannot remove the old listing that shows 'Off the Market'. Additionally, the satellite view shows two locations for the same address. As far as the city is concerned, this is all one property with one address. This property has not been subdivided.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
