    What's special

    Wooded peace and privacySpacious rural propertyAll kitchen appliances
    Imagine coming home to the wooded peace and privacy of this spacious rural property, while still enjoying the convenience of a hard-surface road minutes from Indianola and the DSM metro and a home that has been thoughtfully updated. This large country home offers room to spread out, relax, entertain, and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with having space around you. A few of the updates include all kitchen appliances, flooring, mechanicals, roof and septic. These improvements provide valuable peace of mind and allow you to focus on enjoying your new home rather than wondering what needs to be replaced next.

But wait there is more! Incredible 40 x 70 insulated building with concrete floors, heat and air, 12 ft overhead doors along with water serviced by the well plus fiber internet . This home really does offer so many of the features that appeal to living life in the country.
