Description

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a picturesque 6.065 m/l acre acreage site featuring a spacious, character-filled 2-story farmhouse, multiple outbuildings, and room to grow—all just minutes from North Liberty, Iowa. The property is being offered through a No-Reserve Online Auction. The online bidding is LIVE and will end at 4:00 PM CDT on Wednesday, May 21st. 

Built in 1898, the 2,675 square foot home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with many updates and upgrades throughout. A few of the upgrades include a modern kitchen, a main floor mudroom and laundry, large modern bathrooms, walk-in closets, a living room addition featuring a cozy freestanding fireplace, and a geo-thermal climate control system. The home sits on a concrete/block foundation with a 1,175 square foot basement (partially finished). The kitchen comes equipped with a range unit, double oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a massive walk-in pantry. Walking into the main floor from the attached garage, you will find the large mudroom and laundry area with jack-and-jill access to the master bath as well as access to the kitchen area.

The land offers open space, a massive garden area, mature trees, and endless possibilities for country living, hobby farming, or future investment. It is situated on some of the best soil in Iowa, with a CSR2 value of over 94, offering an excellent opportunity for gardening and future pasture/hay production for any 4-H family or hobby farmer. There are approximately 1.91 acres currently in grass/hay production.
