3052 Rose Ave Menlo, IA 50164

Situated at the end of a quiet, county-maintained dead-end road, this property in southern Guthrie County offers an exceptional blend of privacy, natural beauty, and rural charm. With no through traffic and a peaceful, undisturbed setting, it's the perfect location for those seeking a quiet country lifestyle surrounded by nature. Built in 1990, the 1,200-square-foot ranch-style home features two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and an open-concept layout combining the kitchen, dining, and family room areas. A three-car detached garage with concrete floors sits just east of the home, providing ample space for vehicles, tools, and equipment. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking for a rural retreat, this property offers a comfortable starting point with room to grow—either by expanding the existing structure or building a new home further into the property. Several scenic build sites exist on the northern portion of the land, offering flexibility for future development. The property features acres of established warm-season native grasses that were formerly enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). With the contract now expired, these acres offer incredible flexibility for the next owner. Whether you're looking to convert the ground back into row crop production, establish food plots for wildlife, or maintain it as low-maintenance grass habitat, the options are wide open to suit your vision and goals.
