12 Acres with Home & Outbuildings
Located southwest of Eddyville in Monroe County, Iowa, this 12 acre property offers a rare opportunity to purchase a true hobby farm in a strong agricultural community. The property features a split-foyer home built in 1985 with an attractive and functional layout offering two levels of finish, four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a two-car attached garage with a combined mudroom and utility area.
The home is being sold as-is and will require some updating and improvement, but it offers a solid foundation and a well-thought-out layout that allows a buyer to tailor the home to their own preferences. A new furnace installed in 2025 is an added benefit. While unique in design, the layout is practical and well suited for everyday rural living.

The setting is secluded, yet conveniently located approximately 3 miles from paved Hwy 137, approximately 3 miles from Monroe/Wapello Road, and within approximately 6 miles of the Cargill/Ajinomoto Complex, offering nearby employment and career opportunities while maintaining a quiet country setting.
The acreage offers excellent potential for small or large livestock, making this a highly functional hobby farm. Improvements include an additional barn and an open-front shed that, while older, are in excellent condition for their age and remain highly functional for equipment storage and livestock use. The property also includes gated corrals, lots, and sorting facilities, making it well suited for livestock operations or 4-H and FFA projects.
This 12 acre tract is part of a larger farm, with the adjoining 65 acres directly bordering the property. Together, the home and 12 acres and the adjoining 65 acres comprise a single 77 acre farm, which may be purchased as a combined unit, offering flexibility for buyers seeking a larger, contiguous ownership.
Additional land options include a 37 acre highly tillable row-crop tract located south and directly across the road, providing further opportunity for expansion.
Property is sold as-is and subject to survey.
