Description
Located just outside of Monroe City, this well-positioned country homestead offers a rare blend of modern construction, privacy, and recreational opportunity. Situated only half a mile from State Road 241 and within convenient driving distance of Vincennes, Washington, and Petersburg, the property offers strong accessibility while maintaining a quiet, secluded rural setting. Proximity to Interstate 69 and U.S. Route 50 enhances regional connectivity for commuting or travel.
Built in 2022, the 2,208-square-foot ranch-style home is thoughtfully designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. The exterior showcases a large stamped concrete patio and a covered back porch featuring a double-sided stone fireplace, creating a standout outdoor living space ideal for year-round use. From the rear of the home, expansive agricultural views stretch to the north with no neighboring homes in sight, delivering a true sense of openness and privacy.
Inside, the home features an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the family room, dining area, and kitchen. Large windows and direct patio access bring in natural light and extend the living space outdoors. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range and oven, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry, offering both durability and visual appeal for daily living and entertaining.
The primary suite is designed as a private retreat, complete with a spacious bedroom, a hidden safe room, a large walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a tiled shower. A second bedroom and full bathroom are located nearby, along with a versatile laundry and office space that also provides direct access to the back patio.
Upstairs, the home offers additional square footage that is near completion, requiring only flooring installation. This space provides flexibility for a third bedroom along with a large open area suitable for a home gym, recreation room, or media space, allowing future customization based on needs.
The attached two-car garage is fully insulated and conditioned, adding convenience and comfort year-round. Beyond the home, the property features a 2,500-square-foot insulated and conditioned pole barn. This structure includes approximately 600 square feet of finished office space, a full bathroom, and a fully finished attic, making it well-suited for a home-based business, workshop, or additional storage.
Infrastructure across the property has been carefully planned and installed. Utilities include underground electrical service, owned LP gas tanks, a private well, and a septic system. Additional water and electrical hookups are distributed throughout the property, offering flexibility for future improvements or expansion. A whole-property generator system provides backup power, enhancing reliability.
The land itself offers excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. With a wooded backdrop and abundant wildlife activity, the property is well-suited for hunting, trapping, hiking, and foraging. A gated entrance with a pipe gate adds an element of security and controlled access.
This property combines modern living, functional improvements, and recreational appeal in a strong location. It is well-suited for buyers seeking a private rural residence with space to work, relax, and enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing access to nearby towns and major roadways.
