Property Description

Presenting this attractive 3.25-acre acreage located just north of Menlo, Iowa, in Guthrie County. Offering a peaceful rural setting surrounded by the rolling countryside, this property provides the space and privacy of country living while maintaining convenient access to Interstate 80 and nearby communities.

The property features a highly improved farmhouse that has benefited from several significant updates. These updates include a new foundation, a new walkout basement addition with 9-foot ceilings, new underground water and electric lines from the road, a new deck with timber tech decking and white aluminum railings, 200-AMP electrical service, and a new HVAC system. The basement has been sprayed with spray in foam insulation and has been roughed in for two full bathrooms. The unfinished walkout basement provides valuable additional space and gives the next owner a blank canvas to finish how they desire.

In addition to the home, the property includes a 40' x 60' utility shop with a concrete floor and new 14-foot doors, providing excellent space for equipment, vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. There is new underground power to the building.

With 3.25 acres, substantial improvements to the home, and a large utility building, this property presents an affordable opportunity to enjoy the benefits of rural Iowa living. Located just north of Menlo, the acreage combines privacy, usable space, and country living with convenient access to Interstate 80.
