You will be blown away by the amount of work has been put into this charming farmhouse and the other buildings on this property! Among the updates are the addition of a new master suite, office/laundry room, front porch and screened in porch; new windows, insulation, siding; buried the above ground electrical lines; fully renovated the large barn to 4-car garage; and added plumbing, electricity and bathroom to the pole barn. Horses welcome! Historical charm and countryside meet modern upgrades and easy access to the entire corridor for this picture perfect Fairfax property!
This charming farm house sits on 4.5 acres and has views for miles more! Since 2010, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and beautiful acreage has been meticulously maintained and revamped. The house sits high enough on the hill that you can follow the perimeter of Highway 151 from Fairfax to Amana, with a beautiful view of the soft rolling hills, the blue neon on the Alliant Tower and fireworks galore in every direction. The sunrises, sunsets, moon, stars and constellations are not to be missed! The property includes 1 large outbuilding with shop and “mancave”, a smaller outbuilding, a garden shed and the big red barn. The main level offers an eat-in kitchen, living room, formal dining room and full bathroom. On the second level you will find the master bedroom and the second bedroom, both with large windows and larger closets. There is a spacious landing at the top with another closet for extra storage.

AG
Agricultural District
Agricultural areas AA designated on the land use map are intended to maintain or enhance the viability of agricultural operations in such areas by restricting the proliferation of noncompatible uses and protecting high-value agricultural land, while allowing pockets of infill development in appropriate areas. This is achieved through the design of the LESA system scoring, which awards points sparingly and has a high threshold score for development approval. The agricultural area goals are also achieved through the UDC zoning density requirement for lots, which generally requires a 35-acre minimum for agriculturally zoned development, and through the minimum levels of service MLS standards. For more information concerning how the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan relate to each zoning district refer to Table 107-147-3 at the end of article VII of this chapter.
