This charming Van Buren County acreage offers the perfect blend of country living, character and recreational opportunity. Situated on 6 acres, the property features a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with just over 2,000 square feet of living space, along with a stocked pond, fruit trees, garden area and plenty of room for kids, animals, or future homesteading plans.

The property is located on a quiet, low-traffic road southwest of Bentonsport, just across the Des Moines River, and within easy driving distance to Keosauqua (less than 6 miles), Bonaparte (11 miles), and Fairfield (26 miles). As you pull into the driveway, you’re immediately greeted by a home full of charm and curb appeal-inside and out-making it easy to envision this as a place to truly call home.

Stepping inside, the kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring beautiful natural stone flooring, an open layout and an abundance of natural light that fills the space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy reading room or flex living area, which flows directly into a comfortable living room. The main level also includes an additional room that could serve as a non-conforming bedroom or office, along with a full bathroom.

Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a second full bathroom. A unique and convenient feature for young families is the nursery space located just off the primary bedroom. Also off the primary bedroom is a second-level deck on the south side of the home, offering peaceful views of the property and a great place to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets.

The original brick structure of the home has been thoughtfully expanded with a large addition off the south side, more than doubling the original footprint and adding attractive dormers that enhance both space and character. Beneath the original portion of the home is a basement that provides room for utilities and mechanicals.

The current owner has completed numerous upgrades, including new entry doors with screen doors, new siding, soffit and fascia, brand-new roof shingles and a new washer and dryer. They have also replaced most of the windows. One of the standout features is the wraparound porch with new railing-an ideal spot to relax on the swing, enjoy sunrises and sunsets and watch kids play in the yard.

Outside, the pond is stocked with crappie, bluegill, bass and catfish, offering both recreation and scenic appeal. Multiple sheds with concrete floors provide excellent storage, along with a chicken coop that will stay with the property. Additional small outbuildings for animals may be negotiable.

Located in the heart of Van Buren County, this property also offers surprising whitetail hunting opportunities. With quality connecting cover and well-managed neighboring land, it’s no surprise that two impressive bucks have been harvested right on this 6-acre tract in recent years. They also have planted a food plot along the timber in recent years, to improve their odds as well.

This acreage is well-suited for the homesteader, hobby farmer, or anyone seeking a quiet country setting. With established fruit trees, an active garden area, and ample space on the east side of the property for livestock or additional improvements, the possibilities are endless.

If you’re searching for a peaceful country acreage with a beautiful home full of character, this property deserves a look.
