About this property

Enjoy your private sanctuary on this acreage in SW Iowa. You have over 3 acres of space to utilize for outdoor games & dining.

The single-level 4 BR house with 2 bathrooms boasts room to entertain & relax. The Master bedroom has a walk-in closet & a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The second bedroom has a full bed.
A queen bed is in the third bedroom & another full bed will be found in the fourth bedroom. (We are flexible on group size....ask us about additional sleeping arrangements!)

An open kitchen with brand new appliances will allow you to make home-made meals to serve in the dining room! Another option is to use the gas grill outside & serve the meal in the outdoor seating area. Smores at the firepit can make a fun dessert!
