Description
This property is an ideal retreat, blending the coziness of a log home with the convenience of a nearby town that sits on beautiful rolling timber property in the scenic landscapes of southeast Iowa. It’s located in a desirable part of Henry County between Mount Pleasant and New London, just two miles south of Highway 34. Built in 1998, the home has over 2,300 square feet on the main level, a large upstairs loft, and a partially finished basement. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, a non-conforming bedroom, and three bathrooms, creating a functional and spacious layout. The main level features the primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom (including both a tub and shower), an office, full bathroom and a four-seasons room ideal for enjoying Iowa’s changing seasons. A spiral staircase leads to the lower level where there is a large open room, laundry/utility room, bedroom, full bathroom and additional non-conforming bedroom. Handcrafted log steps connect the main level to the loft, a versatile area that adds character to this warm and inviting space. Central fireplaces in the great room (wood burning) and basement (gas) give the home warmth and charm. The fireplace is visible from two sides, so you can enjoy it from the kitchen, great room, or basement. A large deck offers westerly views through the timber, making it a pretty spot to watch the sunset. The attached two-car garage opens into a mudroom, which could also serve as a first-floor laundry if adapted. The kitchen was previously set up with multiple pieces of heirloom cabinetry that the owners are keeping, however the space is large and versatile to customize with a fresh layout that fits your style.
Log homes offer warmth and durability that few other structures can match. The natural insulation of the logs keeps the home cozy in winter and cool in summer, creating an efficient, comfortable environment year-round. Thick log walls provide excellent soundproofing, ensuring peace and quiet. This property has rural water, LP service, multiple water hydrants, and a septic system with a passing inspection certificate. Towering mature oaks are across the land, which was once used as a cattle farm. With the cows gone, it's ready for your vision, and adding a food plot or strategic bedding areas will enhance the hunting even more. This area near Mount Pleasant is known for large whitetails and turkeys; so this can be a phenomenal option for a seasonal hunting property.
Showings are by appointment only with advanced notice. If you're ready to be welcomed home by this beautiful home and acreage, please contact listing agent Ben Harshyne with The Southeast Iowa Land Team for Whitetail Properties Real Estate.
