Welcome to this truly special acreage just outside of Woodward a place where history, heart, and home come together. This 104 year old beauty has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1977 and recently underwent a thoughtful remodel that honors its past while embracing modern comfort.
Once home to a 1 room schoolhouse, the living room still carries whispers of that heritage, with original floors and the preserved fireplace resting quietly beneath the tasteful updates. Every corner of this home tells a story from the craftsmanship you can feel in the woodwork to the peaceful views that greet you each morning.
Offering 4 bedrooms and 1 bath, this home sits on a serene acreage surrounded by the beauty of the Des Moines River Valley. Enjoy spectacular sunsets, wildlife sightings, and the quiet calm of country living all on pavement and within minutes of the High Trestle Trail, Ledges State Park, the Iowa Arboretum, and Camp Mitigwa.
The location is ideal perfectly nestled between Ames and Des Moines yet feels worlds away from the rush of daily life. With a 3-car garage, workshop, new appliances, and generous space for your own projects, this property is truly move in ready and full of opportunity.
