Rarely does a property of this quality and character come available. Situated on 20+/- scenic rural acres just minutes outside of Monmouth, this exceptionally well-built all-brick home offers the perfect combination of craftsmanship, space, privacy, and versatility. Built in 2001 by an owner who is a block-and-brick mason by trade, with generations of masonry experience in his family, this home was thoughtfully designed and constructed with an attention to detail and quality that is increasingly difficult to find. The construction speaks for itself, with 14" thick exterior walls consisting of block, insulation, and brick, providing exceptional durability, efficiency, and sound construction. From the beautiful brick hearth surrounding the wood-burning fireplace to the generous room sizes and thoughtful layout, quality craftsmanship is evident throughout. Recent updates include a brand-new roof installed in summer 2026 and a new walk-in shower in the primary bathroom installed in winter 2025. The main level features a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and beautiful brick hearth, an exceptionally large kitchen with ample workspace and storage, dining area, and a large pantry. The primary suite includes two large closets and a spacious private bathroom. An additional bedroom, convenient mud/laundry room, and half bath complete the main level. The mostly finished basement provides even more living and recreational space, featuring a large entertainment/living room, two additional generously sized bedrooms, utility area, and direct access to the patio. There is also a wood burner in the basement that, along with a heat exchanger, can efficiently provide supplemental heat to help with energy consumption. A massive two-car garage with abundant storage space provides plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and more. Outside, the property continues to impress. The home sits prominently on a scenic hilltop surrounded by a beautiful, spacious yard featuring a gazebo area and a large garden with plenty of room for expansion. Adjacent to the home is an 30' x 50' post-frame machine shed, offering abundant storage and shop space. The building also features small additions designed to accommodate livestock, along with an existing fenced area. Approximately 8 additional acres are currently mowed for hay and could also provide excellent additional pasture space, with fencing already in place. The remaining acreage offers a wonderful mix of possibilities for agricultural use, recreation, livestock, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of country living. For the outdoor enthusiast, wildlife is abundant with deer, turkey, and small game frequently seen on and around the property. An ideal location for a potential future pond adds even more possibilities to this already exceptional acreage. Properties combining this level of construction, acreage, outbuildings, usability, and proximity to town are truly hard to find.
