This special 22-acre property is a rare, peaceful, and private retreat, offering a beautiful blend of water, pasture, and natural landscape. A 2.5+ acre pond features a walking path that winds around the entire pond, perfect for quiet strolls and enjoying the setting. Two additional ponds sit within the wetland area and are home to abundant wildlife. Over 9 acres of open pasture offer plenty of space for horses, livestock, gardens, or simply enjoying wide-open views. The rich soil is ideal for growing vegetables and fruit trees. The same family has lovingly held the land for three generations and is now ready to be passed on to someone who will truly appreciate its character and beauty. About half of the property is a protected wetland, complete with a small waterfall, pond lilies, and signs of visiting wildlife, including the occasional beaver. Recent improvements include a newly built road and freshly mowed and bush-hogged fields. A 0.52-acre lot is included, with an existing well, septic system, driveway, and right-of-way, offering an additional access point if desired. Located just 18 minutes from the nearest grocery store, this is a truly one-of-a-kind piece of land in Polk County.
