Do you dream of getting out of the city & owning a few acres with a home? This property is the perfect homesteaders dream! An amazing opportunity awaits you with 16.87 BEAUTIFUL acres within 5 minutes of Nevada, MO & a short distance to Kansas City, Joplin & the lake Ozarks region. This 3 BR, 2 Bath, ranch style, brick home has an open concept with a large living room, family room & kitchen. Some updates have been completed, but much of the home is original from the 1970's era. Original hardwood floors are present in much of the home & if buffed, they will shine beautifully again! In recent years, a newer second full bath was added, along with a heated towel rack to enjoy after a long day. A wood burning fireplace is present, along with insulated storm windows for lower utility costs during the cold MO winter months. The central heat & air unit was replaced, along with the roof in recent years, giving you confidence that the big ticket items have been taken care of. A small concrete basement is available to provides peace of mind during storm season. Park your car in the metal carport close by, or steps away you'll find a large wooden red barn with concrete flooring. The barn had functional electricity at one time & was used as a workshop. Additionally the barn has attached open bays for livestock, or other use, & an attached office/tac storage space. The acreage has rich soil & beautiful grass growth! The pasture has been rented out over the last few years with a verbal agreement & is income producing. Bring your horses, cattle & other livestock, as water is nearby for stock tank watering. Want to try out your green thumb? The large open area around the home will make a perfect garden space to grow produce for year around pleasure. This cozy home is absolutely comfortable & livable! With a few cosmetic updates it's sure to be a show stopper! The home sells AS IS but buyers are welcome to do an inspection. Some of the furnishings are negotiable, as well.
