Create your own country retreat on this versatile 11.88-acre property located just off a paved highway and only 10 miles west of Ottumwa, Iowa. With a small pond, mature timber, planted pines, open ground, and utilities already in place, this property offers an excellent combination of a rural building site and affordable recreational land. A built-in driveway leads into the property, where several potential building areas overlook the open ground and small pond. Rural water, electric, and an existing septic system are already on site, with utility lines installed underground. The septic system was installed around 2001 as a sand filtration system and remains functional; buyers should verify that it meets current requirements. The existing trailer is not included and will be removed prior to closing. The property features a nice mix of mowed open ground, established pines, and mixed timber across gently rolling terrain. The pond provides an attractive focal point for a future homesite, while the timber and pines create privacy and additional opportunities to enjoy wildlife, hunting, and the outdoors right outside your door. With approximately 282 feet of frontage along Ridge Road, residential use allowed, and mobile or manufactured homes permitted, this property offers plenty of flexibility. Build a home, create a weekend getaway, establish your own recreational retreat, or simply invest in a manageable piece of southern Iowa land. Visit our website for more info!

I HAD THE GREAT IDEA TO BUY THIS HOUSE EARLIER THIS YEAR… The plan was to turn it into a rental. My wife did not exactly share my enthusiasm for that plan, which caused a bit of a debate around our house. You know who won? Well… let’s just say I’m writing a listing description instead of a rental ad. So here we are! This 2-bedroom Southside home has some great potential and a fenced-in backyard with large gates, which is a feature I personally really appreciate. When I go over to mow, I can drive my rider right through the gate and knock the whole thing out in no time. There’s also an additional building on the property that offers possibilities for the next owner to decide what makes the most sense for it. The basement is another space that could be put to work depending on your plans, and yes… there’s even a bathroom down there! It may need a little creativity to make it your own, but that’s where the fun begins. I bought this house because I saw potential in it, and I still think there’s plenty of potential here for someone willing to put their own ideas into it. Be like me and buy this house… but unlike me, actually follow through on your plan! One of the owners is a lic Realtor in Iowa

I WASN’T EVEN GOING TO WRITE A DESCRIPTION… BUT THE MLS MAKES ME. So here we go. This house is GINORMOUS. Five bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 decks, a huge fenced-in backyard, tuck-under garage, paved driveway, and enough space to make you start inventing rooms just because you can. The story goes this property was once configured as a duplex way back in the day, but somewhere along the way it was converted into one seriously unique and incredibly spacious home. One of the rooms has a walkout deck, giving you a space to relax. And the central air is only ONE YEAR OLD — and when I say it will freeze you out, I mean FREEZE. YOU. OUT. If I bought this place, I'd be putting in a movie theater room, a gaming room and, oh yeah… a tanning bed. Why? Because there’s room for it and it be convenient. Recap: 5 bedrooms. 2 full baths. 2 decks. Huge fenced yard. Tuck-under garage. Paved driveway. 1-year-old central air. One house. A ridiculous amount of space. A smoking price. You really need to walk through this one to appreciate just how much house is here.
