What's special

There's a particular kind of quiet you only find on an acreage — and 6968 77th Lane has it. Step onto the back deck and you won't see another rooftop, or neighbor. Just your garden, your patio, and 4.68 acres that's entirely yours. This property spent years as a working horse operation, and it shows. The 40'x60' horse barn (1999) is fully equipped: three stalls, a wash stall, a heated tack room, well water, a shop area, and a loft above for storage or projects. A 20'x60' lean-to adds more covered space. The acreage is fenced into two ~1.5-acre pastures and a ~1-acre mudlot, previously a riding area and easily converted back. Inside, this ranch is simple and solid: 1,356 sq ft on the main level plus ~1,000 finished sq ft in the basement, for 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and entertaining space up and down. Recently refreshed with new flooring, paint, and a new dishwasher and range. Other updates include a new roof (50 yr shingles) in 2026, windows in 2015, new septic system with sand filtration and a check valve in 2010, and more for your peace of mind. Two decks (front and back) and a patio offer options for morning coffee or evening wind-down. With Norwalk schools 10 minutes away, DSM airport under 20, and only 0.3 miles of gravel to pavement, you get acreage living without giving up location. The current owners bred horses here for years and are heading into their next chapter. Now it's someone else's turn to fill this barn with hoofbeats.
