Land with Home for Sale in Atlantic, Iowa
68948 Troublesome Creek Rd, Atlantic, IA 50022
Sitting on just under 6 acres, you will find one of the most pristine 1867 family farm houses located in all of southwest Iowa. The current owners have presided over this heritage farmstead for the last 46 years, including during the documentary filming of "Troublesome Creek: A Midwestern" which was an Academy Award Nominated Film. They have hosted numerous garden and home tours and have done extensive remodeling to the property with the most notable taking place from 2013-15 which included the main floor bathroom, full kitchen and a new four seasons sunroom. Main floor offers plenty of room for entertaining with the formal dining, living room, parlor and enclosed front porch. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms including the primary with en suite and its own sunroom facing the east. In addition to interior updates you'll also find hardi-plank siding, a newer roof, windows, geothermal heating/air, and a brand new septic system. The 40x80' machine shed offers a 2 car garage, RV/tractor parking, workshop and workout/office room and lots of storage space. There's also a fully wired garden shed, an adorable kids playhouse, corn crib gazebo for entertaining, 30x80' hog building, 1900's 2 seater outhouse, an 1867 granary with loft, a partial in-ground steel storage unit, and a woodshed full of firewood for those nights around the firepit or the wood burning stove. You'll be sure to find peace and tranquility amongst all of the garden beds, walking trails through the woods, or exploring along the creek. There is also fiber to the home and a private well, and it's located just a few minutes from I-80 and an hour to Des Moines or Omaha. You really should not delay in scheduling your private tour of this gorgeous property before someone else makes it theirs.
