About This Home

COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS FINEST! Check out this extremely well-cared-for acreage on 4.92 surveyed acres, conveniently located between Sanborn, Hartley & Melvin! Built in 1913, this beautiful 1,635 sq. ft. home has been nicely updated while maintaining its country charm. The main floor features an updated kitchen, main-floor laundry, primary bedroom, ¾ bathroom, and a spacious family room with fireplace, added in 1998. Upstairs are 3 nice bedrooms plus a bonus storage room. Additional updates include new windows in December 2019 and a new furnace and water heater in 2024. Appliances stay, including the Speed Queen washer & dryer. Rear ramp access adds extra convenience. Outside, this property really shines! You’ll find a heated 3-car attached garage with metal roof and an impressive 135' x 60' Morton machine shed with two 15' sliding doors, walk-in door, and dirt floor. The acreage also includes a 10,000-bushel drying bin with 220-amp service, barn with rural water hookups, shop with fuel barrels, 3 government grain bins, and additional older outbuildings. A mature tree line, recent property cleanup, established asparagus patches, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors complete this outstanding acreage. Extremely nice, exceptionally well cared for, and ready for its next owner — this is a must-see country property!
