About this home

Escape to peace and quiet in this charming 2-story home surrounded by nothing but wide-open cornfields—no noise pollution, minimal lights, and no close neighbors. Enjoy country living at its best with a welcoming wrap-around porch and a spacious layout that offers room for everyone. A large main-floor addition adds over 1,200 sq ft and features a generous primary suite with a jet tub and separate shower, a huge laundry room with a second ¾ bath, and a bonus room perfect for an office, playroom, sunroom—whatever you need. The main level also includes an oversized kitchen, formal dining room, parlor, and family room. Upstairs you’ll find three additional bedrooms, including a second large primary, plus a full bath. (Note: water to the upstairs bath has been shut off, and some trim work is still needed in the upper bedrooms. ) The basement offers a mix of full and crawl spaces from various additions. Outdoors, you’ll love the wrap-around porch, established perennial gardens, ample space for future sheds/garages, and wide-open views. Old outbuildings have been removed, leaving foundations in place for potential reuse. A detached garage with a single stall door and plenty of storage completes the property. Gravel roads, low county taxes, and completed radon, pest, and well testing add peace of mind. Time of Transfer is in progress—ch

Agricultural District

Agricultural areas AA designated on the land use map are intended to maintain or enhance the viability of agricultural operations in such areas by restricting the proliferation of noncompatible uses and protecting high-value agricultural land, while allowing pockets of infill development in appropriate areas. This is achieved through the design of the LESA system scoring, which awards points sparingly and has a high threshold score for development approval. The agricultural area goals are also achieved through the UDC zoning density requirement for lots, which generally requires a 35-acre minimum for agriculturally zoned development, and through the minimum levels of service MLS standards. For more information concerning how the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan relate to each zoning district refer to Table 107-147-3 at the end of article VII of this chapter.
