Dreaming of wide-open spaces, fresh air, and a place to build your rural lifestyle? This versatile 4.5-acre homestead just outside Agency, Iowa might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. Perfectly located on a hard-surface road within the Cardinal School District, and just 10 minutes from Ottumwa and 25 minutes from Fairfield, this property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with easy access to town amenities. The home is solid and well-maintained, offering over 1,200 sq. ft. of comfortable main-level living. It features hardwood floors and a roof that's in excellent condition. The full, unfinished basement is full of potential—whether you’re envisioning more living space, a workshop, or extra storage. A 28x30 detached garage (built in 2016) adds even more function and flexibility. But the true gem of this property lies in the land. The gently rolling pasture is ideal for horses, hobby farming, gardening, or simply enjoying the open space. You'll find mature landscaping, fruit trees, and a well that supplies multiple hydrants—a cost-effective solution for watering plants, animals, or future gardens. Multiple outbuildings provide extensive storage and workspace. Three machine sheds feature concrete floors, and one is fully insulated and finished inside—perfect for winter projects, a home business, or a cozy workshop.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
