About this home

Peace, privacy, and picturesque country living await on this beautiful 5-acre property in Columbia. Offering a park-like setting with mature trees, a tranquil pond, and located within the desirable Waterloo Community School District. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, offering move-in-ready comfort in a truly serene setting. Inside, the eat-in kitchen with pantry flows nicely into a separate dining room featuring a tray ceiling currently used as a sitting room perfect for morning coffee. The inviting living room boasts a bay window, cozy gas fireplace, and built-in bookshelves, the perfect spot to unwind. The bathroom has been refreshed with a new double vanity, and major updates include new HVAC, newer stainless steel appliances (washer/dryer stay!), and most windows replaced with quality Pella windows. Downstairs, the basement's painted concrete floors and painted ceiling make it easy to finish into additional living space down the road. Outside, enjoy the back patio overlooking the grounds, plus a versatile outbuilding ideal for a workshop, storage, or endless other possibilities. Five acres of trees, water, and quiet country living, just minutes from Columbia or Waterloo makes it the perfect location. Schedule your appointment today.

Agricultural District

The Agricultural District of Monroe County encompasses areas where soil, water, vegetal, and topographical resources generally provide conditions well suited to the raising of crops and domestic animals. The district is designed to prevent the intrusion of nonagricultural land use and development which would hinder agricultural pursuits by reason of congestion on public roads, chemical and biological pollution of air and water, environmental conditions, soil erosion, and the depletion of natural cover causing runoff of storm water onto and across agricultural land. The district is designed to protect and preserve the areas of high agricultural productivity and is intended to preserve conditions suitable to agricultural purposes. Anyone applying for a permit for a residence in this Agriculture Zoned District must sign a certificate that they are aware that there might be a sight, smell, or sound of agriculture business in the area.
