Tucked away in the rolling hills of Madison County, you will find this peaceful 13± acre property, offering the perfect mix of rural charm and modern convenience. This well-maintained homestead is conveniently located just west of St. Charles, only 25 minutes south of West Des Moines and 5 miles from I-35. Situated on a quiet dead-end road with no primary resident neighbors in sight, you’ll enjoy true country privacy without being far from town. The remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features a warm and inviting layout, highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace and an attached 24’x31’ heated garage with 12’ ceilings and a storage loft. Outside, the property is well set up for livestock or hobby farming with a 30’x50’ barn featuring a new hydrant, trenched electric ready for hookup, and continuous fencing. Two Cobett frost-free waterers serve the barn and pastures, and the setup is poultry-ready for those wanting to expand their homestead. Additional improvements include a 25’x50’ storage shed ideal for firewood, tools, or equipment, plus a large established garden, fruit trees, and berry bushes. Approximately 8± acres are in pasture and 2± acres are planted in alfalfa—ready for livestock or hay production. Rural water is provided by Warren Water District, power by Farmers Electric, and high-speed fiber optic internet is available through Omnitel. With two separate parcels, there’s flexibility and potential to build another home, shop, or whatever you can dream up.
