About This Property

Country living with modern comfort! This beautifully remodeled 3,550-square-foot farmhouse sits on 18.9 acres and offers an impressive combination of space, privacy, character, and extensive recent improvements. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the charm and unique features that make a farmhouse special. Major upgrades include a brand-new metal roof, new siding and gutters, new HVAC system, new water heaters, new septic system, new one-car garage, water purification and softener systems, whole-home air filtration, and numerous additional improvements throughout the fresh remodel. Step outside and enjoy fantastic views overlooking surrounding farmland and mature trees, including incredible scenery from the private second-level balcony—a perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful countryside. The enclosed sunporch provides another relaxing space to really enjoy. The completely fenced yard provides plenty of room for children, pets, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors, while the acreage offers opportunities for pasture, hunting, walking trails, recreation, or creating your own private country retreat. A new 56' x 36' shed provides excellent space for equipment, storage, hobbies, or agricultural use, and a salvaged old-fashioned root cellar adds a truly unique piece of history and character to the property. Despite its private country setting, the property remains conveniently located a few miles outside of town and between Palmyra and BASF on Highway 168, this property has easy access to both Hannibal and Quincy. With nearly 19 acres, beautiful views, substantial new improvements, versatile outbuildings, and one-of-a-kind features throughout, this is much more than a remodeled farmhouse—it is a property that truly needs to be seen in person to appreciate everything it has to offer.

Mississippi bottoms and hill-country timber along the river.

Marion County lies along the Mississippi River in Northeast Missouri, where rich bottom farmland meets the timbered hills that back it. The river bottoms carry productive row-crop ground, while the uplands hold oak-hickory timber, pasture, and the field edges that hold game. The river corridor makes for a natural draw for waterfowl, and the surrounding hardwoods support the whitetail and turkey hunting this region has built its reputation on. Buyers find a working agricultural county with genuine recreational depth, from tillable acreage and cattle ground to timbered hunting tracts. Marion County offers the riverland mix at the core of this region: farm productivity paired with the outdoor appeal that draws land buyers north.
