About This Property

A rare find inside city limits! Approximately 14+/- serene, park-like acres offering an incredible combination of privacy, space, wildlife, and convenience. Tucked away with a secluded, country feel yet located right in town, this unique property offers endless possibilities. The residence has previously been utilized as a duplex, providing excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, separate living quarters, or conversion to a spacious single-family home. Generously sized rooms, abundant storage, and beautiful Northern cedar planks—approximately 60 years old—on the walls and ceilings give the home warmth and character you simply don’t find in newer construction. The property has also been thoughtfully maintained for efficiency, featuring vinyl siding and windows, blown-in insulation added in 2010, and a new roof in 2024. A wood-burning insert provides an additional cozy heat source. The 2-car carport could easily be enclosed to create a full garage. Major features and updates include a large 220V window A/C unit (2015) capable of cooling the entire home, propane furnace (2010) serviced annually, propane water heater (approx. 2010), ductwork cleaned 11/24, new toilet 4/25, and stainless double sink with new kitchen faucet 10/25. Side B offers a newer electric water heater, white cast-iron double sink with new faucet (10/25), propane furnace (2010), and ductwork cleaned 10/25. Adding even more versatility, the property includes two city utility hookups with a third that can be readily adapted, along with two MFA propane tanks with new regulators. The rock house adds another layer of potential, featuring concrete floors, a garage-style door, and new rafters and a metal roof installed in 2010. Whether envisioned as a workshop, storage space, hobby area, or something more, it complements the property’s flexibility beautifully. With mature trees, open areas, abundant wildlife, and a peaceful, tucked-away setting, this property feels worlds away while keeping the conveniences of town close at hand. Whether you’re searching for a private homestead, multi-generational property, income-producing opportunity, or one-of-a-kind investment, 14+/- acres inside city limits is an opportunity that rarely comes along. Property is being sold AS-IS.

Rolling working farms and hardwood timber on the metro's rural edge.

Franklin County is where the eastern gateway becomes real country. Rolling countryside carries genuine working farms, pasture, and hay ground, threaded with hardwood timber along the ridges and creek bottoms. The Missouri River runs the county's northern edge, and the land south of it climbs into wooded hills that hold whitetail and turkey. This is prime territory for the buyer who wants a working or hobby farm, a cattle place, timber, or a recreational tract with room to breathe — all while staying within practical reach of the metro. The mix of productive ground, water, and cover gives Franklin an honest agricultural character that the counties closer to the city have largely traded away. It is countryside you can still farm and hunt.
