About This Home
As of May 2026Welcome to one of the most rare opportunities to own a true piece of Old Gilbert. Missouri style farmhouse in the desert where front-porch mornings, open land, and a slower pace of life still exist.
Set on a full acre with no HOA, this beautifully updated farmhouse offers what is becoming nearly impossible to find: space to breathe, room for animals and horses, and a home that feels timeless and intentional. A classic wraparound porch sets the tone - sunrise coffees, slow evenings, and front-row seats to a life well lived.
Situated on over an acre with flood irrigation and more than 55 mature trees - oaks, ash, and fruit trees including orange, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, peach, and plum. New roof & new windows Nov 2025, new exterior siding & rebuilt front porch 2023, and that darling red barn? It's a four-car garage with a 220V outlet. Covered horse stalls and a chicken coop make this true country living, tucked right into the city. This home is as functional as it is special, offering 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large family room, and an upstairs loft. The open kitchen has been beautifully updated with white cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and a full-size refrigerator and freezer. Hardwood floors and wood beams bring in that true farmhouse feel, while the Dutch door leading to the back patio is one of those details you'll instantly fall in love with. The large, open laundry room offers porch access, and the primary suite is on the main floor - right where you want it. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its farmhouse soul, this home blends comfort and character with ease. The land offers room to grow, gather, and create - space for animals, gardens, memories, and generations. Here, community still matters. Sunsets still stop you in your tracks. Neighbors know each other, kids grow up outside, and the pace of life softens just enough to savor it. Homes like this don't come around often - an original Gilbert gem where families are raised, traditions are built, and life unfolds a little more slowly. This isn't just a home - it's the kind of place people wait years for and offers a lifestyle most only dream about.
