About This Home

Charming 3-Bedroom Hobby Farm on 5 Acres – Perfect for Horses & Livestock! Nestled on a stunning 5-acre parcel just a quarter-mile off Highway 61, this peaceful and serene property offers the perfect blend of country living with easy access to Burlington and Muscatine. Whether you’re looking for a hobby farm or a private retreat, this home is an ideal choice for those who love nature, animals, and open space. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is well-maintained with recent updates that provide comfort and efficiency. A new furnace (2023), new A-coil for the central air system (2023), and a newer well (2019) ensure reliable utilities, while the roof has been recently updated—the front and top with a rubber roof in spring 2024 and the remainder replaced in 2022. Surrounded by beautiful mature trees, the land offers plenty of open space for horses, livestock, or gardening. With gently rolling terrain and room to roam, it’s the perfect setting for those looking to embrace the rural lifestyle while staying conveniently close to major roadways. Whether you’re starting a small farm, raising animals, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, this property is a rare find in a prime location. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of country paradise! Schedule your showing today!
