    What's special

    Beautiful country views
    This charming country home on 10.1± acres offers the perfect blend of rural living and convenient access to the Omaha and Council Bluffs metro areas. Located just outside Persia, Iowa, on paved 296th Street, this property features a classic farmhouse built in 1900 with timeless character and endless potential. The 1 1/2 story, single-family, and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 3,125 square feet and has been partially renovated. Major updates are already in place, including plumbing, electrical, and drywall, allowing the next owner to finish the home to their own style and vision. It also has a basement for extra space and safety during tough midwest storms. Egress windows in the basement would also allow for the addition of another bedroom. The property is serviced by a well, septic system, and electricity, making it ready for full-time living, a country retreat, or rental space. A 624-square-foot detached and insulated garage, built in 2009, provides excellent storage or workspace. The acreage offers beautiful country views and includes open areas ideal for a future building site, pasture for livestock, row crop production, or a large garden. There’s also plenty of space for the kids to ride ATV’s, horses, snowmobiles, or any of your country activities. A small water slough could also be made into a more prestigious pond to supplement your dream acreage.
