This acreage in Wapello County presents an excellent opportunity to move to the country, enjoy the open space, and take advantage of excellent recreational opportunities in the peaceful countryside. Located just five miles from Floris, eight miles from Eldon, and under 10 miles to Ottumwa, this property is also within the highly regarded Cardinal Community School District.
The 13-acre property features a ranch-style home, multiple outbuildings, a pond, ample yard space, and a large block of hardwood timber. The home sits just far enough off Copperhead Road to provide a spacious front yard for outdoor activities. Pulling through the gated entrance, you'll notice the attached garage and a large covered porch—perfect for enjoying the shade during the day or relaxing on warm summer evenings.
The home offers 2,800 square feet total, with 1,400 finished on the main level and an additional 1,400 square feet of unfinished space in the basement. The main level includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, both with showers, and one with an additional jacuzzi tub. Entering the home from the garage, you’ll find a practical entryway that includes the laundry area. Continue down the hall to the living room, which features a fireplace insert to help with heating and create a cozy atmosphere during the colder months. The kitchen has plenty of room to cook and sit down at the table for those family meals. Sliding glass doors lead out to a deck that overlooks the pond and backyard. Easy-to-clean tile flooring has been installed throughout the common areas and bathrooms on the main level.
Currently, the walk-out basement is a blank slate—wide open with several workbenches along one wall. Full-size windows and a walk-out door on the back wall provide natural light and future potential for additional bedrooms or finished living space. The home has been well maintained, with recent upgrades including a fully rebuilt furnace, additional blown-in attic insulation, and a new roof installed just over six months ago. The home is being offered fully furnished with all appliances and furniture included in the sale, if the buyer so desires.
The attached two-car garage measures 28'x36' and offers ample space for full-sized vehicles. It also includes an additional heated and cooled tack/storage room.
A 24x40 machine shed on the property is currently used for storing equipment, but has also previously been used to shelter horses and livestock. A lean-to on the east side could easily be converted into livestock pens, while the main shed offers ample room for equipment and storage. Additional outbuildings include a garden shed for lawn equipment and a woodshed to store firewood for the fireplace.
Outdoors, the views are simply beautiful. A short distance from the house is the pond, which is stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish. Enjoy family fishing and swimming activities while someone can still keep an eye on things from the house. There's also a fenced garden area ready for growing your own produce. The large yard provides plenty of space for children to play and for hosting family gatherings and outdoor activities.
This part of Wapello County is well known for its hunting opportunities. The current owner has two acres of food plots (soybeans) planted for deer, along with a trail system throughout the timber and a good history of trail camera activity, providing excellent potential for whitetail hunting for years to come.
If you're looking to move out of town and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle Southern Iowa is known for, this acreage is worth a look. For more information or to schedule a private showing, contact Hersh Smith at 641-931-6884. I'd be happy to show you around.
