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, queen annes’ lace with years and years of sprinkling throughout the property….growth in every shade of green you could imagine was hugging this property. 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 hardwood flooring, the wood burning fireplace and tall ceilings caught my eyes. The owners were so proud of their hard work, and they should be! This property has been in the family since 1932, and the home was built in 1937. Over the years…. the home has been a joy to all who lived here. 848 Hwy. 448 is a home built for peaceful living. The preserved details were meticulously deciding on during this last renovation. The owners kept their favorite features and modernized spaces with 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 seemed like invitations to sit and relax. The kitchen ceiling and walls spotlight the original beadboard from the 1930’s. 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 still feels 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. It’s a perfect place to gather with family and friends to enjoy meals! The unique touches of storage within the walls, stairs, and window seats add such character! The large windows in the home frame the grounds amazingly. These views fill each room like artwork!

This 848 Hwy. 448 estate has 14+/- acres of pasture. They had room for sheep, horses, parties, & weddings over the years. The owner enjoys hunting and has turned the additonal “game room” or Patio place into his own processing area. It’s complete with a walk-in cooler. It has it’s own bathroom, so could easliiy be a pool home or a guest house for company. This property has lots of potential for you as a new owner.

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 location is for anyone wanting privacy or even potential extra income as an air bnb or event destination.

The history of this home, like magnolia trees being planted for children in the family, or finding handwrtiten letters in the walls is so interesting to me. The memories and stories of fun times just rolled off her tongue as she remembered her home growing up.

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