This property is a one of a kind as listings like this do not come around very often. There is so much to offer, hopefully this description will do this beautiful acreage justice. There are 44.35 taxable acres and 34 of them are wooded featuring lots of pine trees and hardwoods.The remaining 10 acres consist of meadow/pasture, home/outbuildings, 2 ponds and a stream that give all the flora and fauna southern Iowa has to offer. The 1987 built house is awesome, with 2 bedrooms on the main floor that are very nice sized, an entry foyer, family room with grand windows and a brick gas fireplace from ceiling to floor. A huge eat-in-kitchen with oak cabinets, center island, laminate flooring, pantry, laundry room off kitchen as well as the single car attached garage, and a awesome heated and cooled four season room with new oak french doors along with a great view. This leads to a bi-level deck that allows you to watch all of nature's antics day and night. You will see lots of deer and turkey along with plenty of birds. You will also enjoy the fenced pasture that is now being used for horses, and they have a 30x50x12 pole building/shelter. The whole property, other than the driveway and front yard is fenced with the majority being 5 strand barbed wire. Back to the house, the walk-out basement has 1776 sq ft with a den/family room, 3 rooms that can be used for just about anything, egress windows should be added if you want to say formal bedrooms. There are 2 other rooms for storage and utilities, along with a very large full bathroom. One of the storage rooms is considered the shelter as it sits underneath the concrete floor of the garage. There is a nice patio outside the basement walk-out door. Some of the upgrades are all new Anderson Renewal windows throughout the whole house that were added in 2023, new vinyl plank flooring in the hallway/foyer/4 season room, a new metal roof was put on in 2022, and a new propane furnace/AC was added in 2023. These are serious and expensive upgrades. All the appliances will be included. On the outside you also have a newer shed on skids as well as an indoor/outdoor dog kennel with window air, concrete floors, 4 inside runs and 2 outdoor runs. There is another large metal storage building in the pasture that measures close to 20x60 sq ft. Nice grass yard, mature beautiful trees and a long well maintained driveway. You have just about 1 mile from the North edge of the property to the south side of Chariton city limits. It's amazing that you have this kind of privacy and beauty with a convenient location so close to town. This acreage is one of the nicest in southern Iowa, and would set up incredible for the avid hunter, 4-H, hobby farm just to name a few.
