Quality finishes include concrete floors, Anderson windows, warm pine interiors, and a secure concrete storage room. The land itself is a diverse mix of approximately 57 acres of tillable ground, hay fields, fenced pasture, native prairie, wetlands, and natural ponding areas that support thriving populations of waterfowl, deer, and other wildlife. Elevated building sites capture panoramic sunrise-to-sunset views across protected natural landscapes, creating a setting that feels both expansive and secluded. The main home has been built to capture and utilize a passive solar system with the intentional use of building materials and south-facing exposure. Additional improvements include a garage/shop and a charming Butler-style cabin, providing ample space for equipment, hobbies, guests, or additional recreational use. Whether you're seeking a private family retreat, hunting property, hobby farm, equestrian setup, or a one-of-a-kind rural estate, this property delivers a unique combination of usability, natural beauty, and long-term value. Surrounded by prairie and wetland habitat in a quiet, low-traffic setting, yet conveniently accessible from the metro area, this is a truly uncommon offering. A truly distinctive retreat property where conservation, recreation, agriculture, and modern comfort come together in one remarkable setting.
