This beautiful wooded acreage, close to Ottumwa, features 22 acres and a newly finished house with over 2600 square feet. It's located on 182nd Avenue, less than 10 miles from Ottumwa and just over two miles to the hard-surfaced Lake Road. As you pull into this property, the first thing you're going to notice is the tall white oaks arching over the freshly rocked driveway. The house has a charming, fresh look on the outside with beautiful blue siding, three brand-new decks, and all-new landscaping. The entire interior of this house is brand new. It features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus two additional non-conforming bonus rooms, providing versatile spaces ideally suited for additional bedrooms or an office. The kitchen comes equipped with brand-new quartz countertops, all-new stainless steel appliances, new cabinets, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that spans throughout the main level. The eat-in kitchen has a very open, usable feel flowing into the living room or out to multiple conveniently located decks. One deck steps right out the side of the house, where you can quickly access your grill or smoker during meal times. The other is out of the back of the house, off the dining area, where you can relax and overlook the backyard and your peaceful wooded acres. There's also new plumbing, wiring, lighting, and HVAC throughout the entire house, along with an all-new septic system. The main level has one bedroom with a full bathroom featuring a custom tile shower. The upper level is one large finished bonus space that would make a perfect studio-style bedroom or playroom for the kids. Downstairs, there's an additional bedroom, one full bathroom, an additional bonus room that could also be used as a non-conforming bedroom or office space, and a family room that walks out to the backyard. As you walk through the basement door out to the patio area, you're going to notice a brand-new limestone block retaining wall on both sides of the house, along with a custom fire pit for another relaxing setting to enjoy the outdoors. Ample flat, open space beside the house offers potential for a garage, shed, or additional play area for kids. There's a nice mowed trail system through the scattered oaks that leads from the house down a ridge to the creek bottom ground below. Down there is a great space you could clean up and establish a very nice, secluded food plot for hunting or pasture for your animals as well. One common request I hear from acreage buyers is that they want to have a nice, newer house close to town and also some great hunting. This is that place. Placed in a great hunting neighborhood and the way the topography lays out here, this property lies in a natural corridor for whitetails traveling north to south through all this heavy timber in the area. On the property, you will notice a high population of white oak trees. Not only are they great for wildlife, for producing acorns, which is a much-needed food source for wildlife all year round, but they also have a magical feel as you're adventuring in the woods behind the house. Here, you have the opportunity to get everyone back to nature, immerse yourself in the beautiful countryside, hunt and explore right out your back door and not have to sacrifice location or the modern conveniences of a new home. So if you have been searching for a property that fits the needs of everyone in the family, you will want to consider this one. If you would like to have your private showing, feel free to give me a call. I'd be happy to show this property to you.
