About: Let Good Things be…

It felt comforting as I entered the iron gate onto the gravel driveway that was somewhat secretly hidden off Hwy. 448. I drove down the slightly curved driveway in awe of my surroundings. It felt like I had traveled into a new world! It was as if my stress flew away when I passed through the entry gate to this home. My curiosity grew as I glanced around the grounds. Sweeping magnolias, graced with years and years of queen anne’s lace sprinkling throughout. There was undergrowth of every shade of green you could imagine or dream. The sun was hot and and the birds were singing. I felt for a moment that time was stopped. Homes like this are only visited on vacations, or read about in books. How could this home have been so close to the place I call home, and I had never noticed? The greenery had camoflaged this beautiful farmhouse. I walked the antique brick path to the doorway, and couldn’t help but think the interior couldn’t be as beautiful.

Wow! I was wrong! The interior was nothing but dreamy and serene. The warmth of the original hardwood flooring that had been lovingly restored, the gas log fireplace and tall ceilings caught my eyes at first. The owners were so proud of their hard work over the years. They had taken a home built for peaceful living and made it a modern farmhome with every preserved detail meticulously thought about when deciding if they could restore the “original” or modernize in a new way with their creative touches. The bricks were actually made from dirt on the land around the home. The solid wooded doors were heavy. The built in book shelves were like invitations to sit a while and relax. The kitchen ceiling is the original beadboard to the home. The owners planned and designed ways to mix the warmth of the woods with stainless commercial appliances. The size of the space is grand…yet it still felt so welcoming. The dining room area was breathtaking as the sun begin setting. The entire east side of the grounds can be viewed from this room. What a perfect place to gather with family and friends to enjoy meals! The unique touches of storage within the walls, stairs, and window seats are neat. The character is amazing!

The windows in the home frame the views. These views fill each room like changing artwork as the sun began to set. This estate has a 14+/- acres of pasture. They had room for sheep, horses, and even events & weddings over the years. This home has it all! 848 Hwy. 448 sits nestled in between Cleveland and Indianola. It’s less than 25 minutes to Cleveland, and about the same to Indianola. The ocation is perfect for anyone wanting privacy or even wanting to share their home as an Air BnB. The magnolias were planted originally for children in the family. The stories of fun times just rolled off her tongue as she remembered the home as she grew up. Her love for the home is what sparked the challenge of updating the home and making it her family home.

Don’t miss an opportunity to own this beauty! It is a spectacular home and waiting for you.
