About This Home
Perfect hobby farm located on a paved road just minutes from Algona, Whittemore, & West Bend. This property offers a remodeled 4-bedroom home with an open floor plan including the remodeled kitchen, dining & generously sized living room. The main floor also features a large primary bedroom, two additional queen-size bedrooms, a full bathroom with laundry & a mudroom. The upper level has a possible 4th bedroom (no closet) and an additional room that could be finished for extra space. The house has been repainted inside with new flooring, new exterior doors, a new shop door, some new light fixtures, a new roof (2025) & new oversized septic (2022). The detached garage and workshop (24x32) by the house both have new tin roofs & the heated (in-floor) machine shed (36x28x14) has a new overhead door. The barn (2x40) is horse-ready with stalls & there is a single car detached garage (on skids) & smaller shed that have been used for livestock as well. The garden is even fenced off so you can still have a summer crop! The outdoor Woodmaster furnace heats both the machine shed and the house (forced air furnace) with LP as a secondary source. The property has been set up with multiple buildings & endless fencing to make all of your hobby farm dreams a reality on a paved road too!
