Property Description

Looking for the charm and character of a historic farmhouse without sacrificing modern conveniences? This beautifully restored 1895 farmhouse sits on 7.81 picturesque acres just south of Minburn, offering peaceful country living only about 20 minutes from Waukee and approximately 30 minutes from the Des Moines metro. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an impressive blend of original craftsmanship and newer updates, this home is truly one of a kind. The extensive restoration completed over the years includes newer insulation, windows, drywall, flooring, dual-zone HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and a septic system that is less than five years old. The current owners also installed a new roof in 2023. Inside, you'll love the soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level, 9-foot ceilings upstairs, original red oak trim, stunning pocket doors, spacious laundry room, dedicated pantry, and an updated kitchen featuring newer cabinetry, a large center island, and newer appliances. Outside, the possibilities are endless with an oversized two-car garage, original barn, fully functional windmill, six-stall horse/cattle building, fenced pasture with multiple grazing areas, horse/cattle run, and acreage that has even been used as a flower farm. A property with this much history, character, usable land, and modern updates rarely becomes available. All information obtained from seller and public records.
