Description
This acreage in Monroe County is located on a hard-surface road. It has a house, a steel building, a horse barn, a hay shed, a pond, and over nine acres to enjoy. It’s located just north of Moravia, 3.5 miles, south of Albia, 4.5 miles, and just over one hour to Des Moines. This acreage is also conveniently located just over a mile off State Highway 5 for great access to anywhere.
This beautiful acreage has a ton of outdoor space for any activity you can think of, whether you want to have horses or livestock out in the pasture or just plenty of room for the kids to roam in the yard. The ranch-style house, being built in 2016, has an open concept floor plan, no steps, and walks right out to the patio/sidewalk. Inside, the living room, kitchen, and dining room are all one big room. The kitchen has recently been outfitted with new, custom cabinets. Next to that are two bedrooms and one full bathroom. Just off the kitchen, there's an extra utility and washroom.
A short walk north is a large, steel-sided building built in 2012 that measures 60x120 feet and has a nice overhang on 2 sides. The building has a partial second level and adds up to almost 9,000 total square feet of inside space. The building was once used as a store and there's a large area of concrete adjoining the hard surface road. It is currently being utilized as living quarters, storage space and a shop area. As you step in, you'll notice a large, commercial-sized kitchen. This makes the perfect spot for big jobs like canning or processing your own food. Directly adjacent to that is a big, open space that could be utilized for many different things. It has a walk door and an overhead garage door. On the far side of the main level is another overhead door and walk door going into a large shop area. On the backside of the main level are currently living quarters. There are two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and also a full-sized kitchen. As you go upstairs, you'll notice another two bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a big, open space along with extra storage.
On the south side of the property is a 40x60 barn also built in 2012. It's currently being utilized for horses, equipped with three stalls and extra hay storage. Also on the backside of the horse barn, you'll notice the pasture directly adjoins it. There's also another steel building currently being utilized for hay storage and could also be used for a loafing shed. The pasture is about 7 acres and is currently being used to graze horses. The property has a nice pond right in the middle of it.
There is no electricity on the property; however, it's completely outfitted with propane heating and lighting, along with in-floor heat in most of the large buildings.
Whether you want a move-in ready acreage or have visions of transforming the place, this property is waiting for you. You could simply put the big building back the way it was originally built and have a big storefront. Or maybe you'd like to finish off the inside, add more bedrooms, and make it one large house. Or simply use the rest of the storage space for all your hobbies that you might have. Another great option could be an outfitter's cabin. With all the bedrooms in the big building, the house, and all the open space, this would really make a good area to gather. Either way, there's a ton of opportunity on this property. Throw in the fact that Rathbun Lake is less than 10 minutes away, there are a ton of recreational opportunities like boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, and Honey Creek Resort/Waterpark right down the road, there is certainly plenty of fun to have close by.
