Monroe County
Secluded Country Acreage With Pasture, Mobile Home, And Building Options
1419 520th Lane Melrose, IA 52569
Description
If you're searching for a secluded farm acreage that offers an excellent building site, these 24 acres in Northwest Monroe County might be perfect. It's centrally located between Knoxville, Albia, and Chariton. This property is primarily pasture with a nice blend of flat creek bottom acres and a gradual southwest-facing hill. Partially up the hill stands an as-is mobile home. It's a two-bedroom, two-bathroom manufactured home with a carport, new roof, and new HVAC. Just up the hill from the house is a great knob that gives you views of the surrounding area. This would be an amazing place to build a new house or cabin!
Stephens State Forest surrounds the property. Thousands of timber acres offer public hunting, and from this property, you can access secluded parts of the state forest that are otherwise difficult to get to for the general public. This offering also provides a great canvas for those who want a hobby farm. If you want to live far out in the country, away from many other people, Northwest Monroe County's seclusion is a great place for you to consider. Please give the Southeast Iowa Land Team a call to schedule a showing.
