About This Home

This property in Wapello County features a beautiful barndominium-style home situated on 40 secluded acres of mixed timber and pasture ground. Tucked into a private setting, it was designed with the homesteader and hobby farmer in mind, offering ample space for livestock, gardening, and horticulture while also delivering excellent hunting and recreational opportunities. Conveniently located just 3/4 of a mile off hard-surfaced Lake Road, the property provides quick access to pavement while maintaining true rural privacy. The original structure was built in 2018 and encompasses a total of 1,792 square feet. The west portion includes approximately 1,086 square feet of finished living space, completed in 2022, including a recently added bedroom and large walk-in closet in 2026 that make the home fully functional and comfortable. The east portion remains open shop space and was originally designed to accommodate a camper, with direct pull-in access and the ability to hook up to both electrical and septic systems. The shop space adds exceptional flexibility for guests or additional living quarters while also serving as ideal storage for vehicles, equipment, or workshop use. The home is thoughtfully designed to maximize both comfort and efficiency, featuring one bedroom with a large walk-in closet, one full bathroom, a laundry area, and a spacious kitchen and living room. A centrally located safe room provides secure storage and storm protection when needed.
