311 Iowa Avenue
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 smoke damage, 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. The restoration process would encompass extensive efforts to address the smoke damage, including cleaning surfaces, replacing damaged materials, and improving air quality throughout the house, but with creativity, dedication, and skilled craftsmanship, you could transform this house into a splendid home, preserving its unique heritage for generations to come!
