Captivating views in all directions and dead-end road privacy greet you on this sprawling country hideaway. This once-in-a-lifetime property is a perfect mix of pristine income-producing tillable ground, recreational land for deer and waterfowl bordering Rush Lake, and a beautifully restored farmhouse/outbuildings, and a cabin by the lake. The property is accessed via a dead-end road which offers a level of privacy very rarely found in this area. This allows you to enjoy the conveniences of city amenities while basking in the tranquility of a picturesque rural retreat.The farmhouse was intentionally restored to capture the character and detail that this type of home is known for. Hardwood floors, nostalgic trim, a wood-burning fireplace, and a cozy feel warm this rustic country home. The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a room that could be used as a small office. The structures have been meticulously maintained; including the sheds and outbuildings surrounding the home. Most of the furnishings in the home will be inclusions to the sale making everything about this property turnkey.The tillable acreage is highly coveted and will allow for significant annual income from a cash renter if desired. Soil maps show productive loam-type soils and a corn-soybean rotation is common in this area. Approximately half the acreage is income-producing tillable ground. FSA acreages and soil maps will be provided at the buyer's request.A rim of recreational land borders the north and west sides of the property and provides approximately 3/4 of a mile of frontage on Rush Lake. Beat down deer trails through the reed canary grass and the north-south bulrush wetland strip near the lake document the significant amount of deer traffic you would expect on a property like this. Food, water, and cover abound making this a perfect mix for them to thrive. The rectangular pond behind the house and the ample Rush Lake frontage also unlock a world of opportunity for a waterfowl hunter. Rush Lake is known for duck and goose hunting and also has been known to produce good catches of perch, especially in the winter during ice fishing. The lake is shallow so it offers a unique opportunity to see fish for panfish through the ice if you learn their haunts.The icing on the cake is a cozy one-bedroom cabin down by the lake. The cabin features a screened-in back porch and a wood-burning stove in the living room. Underground electric serves the cabin that is over 3/4 mile from the nearest road. This would be a perfect spot to hunt out of, ice fish out of, or just relax and gather on a warm sunny day.Please contact the list agent, Dave Schutt, to set up your private showing of this exquisite retreat.
