If your idea of ideal living is a picturesque rural Iowa farmstead, this charming 3.7 acres +/- Hobby Farm in Lucas County may be what you’re looking for because it’s got “charming Iowa farmstead” written all over it but the farmhouse was built in 2002 instead of 1902! Location is in the country, but only 150 yards from the paved Derby Hwy., and only 10 miles from Chariton for easy drive to all essential services. Home has 2,280 sq ft of living area, covered front porch with sunrise/sunset views, full unfinished basement, 40x24 attached 1 car garage, and insulated shop with concrete floor. Master bedroom and 1 bath on main floor, with 2 unfinished bedrooms upstairs and 2 unfinished rooms upstairs that could be turned into bedrooms, + plumbing for 2nd bath . Main floor features open kitchen/dining area with walk-in pantry, and very large living room. Outbuildings include: 48x30 barn w/hay loft & concrete floor, 32x22 horse barn w/hay loft, and 42x30 Quonset hoop style building. Garden spot, fruit trees, grape vines, fenced and ready for livestock. Home currently has good water well, rural water is available at the road if desired. Please note an Amish family lives here and electric is not hooked up but home was wired for electricity when originally built and has outlet and lights/fans locations ready for installation. The 3.7 acres +/- designation is estimated because property is being surveyed. Call or text listing agent if you’re interested in having a private showing.
