Property Description
Updated country farmhouse with acreage, large shop, and peaceful country setting.
Located a few miles outside of Aledo in Mercer County, this recently renovated 4-bedroom farmhouse offers the kind of space and setting that's getting harder to find - a quiet rural location with room to breathe, yet close enough to town for everyday convenience.
Since 2017, the home has undergone extensive updates and remodeling. Walls were opened up with the addition of micro-laminate beams to create a more open and connected kitchen and living area, giving the home a comfortable, modern feel while maintaining its farmhouse character. The main-level master suite includes a full bathroom and walk-in closet, with a conveniently located laundry and pantry area just off the bath that opens directly into the kitchen.
A standout feature of the home is the sunroom addition, accessible from both the living room and master bedroom. With three walls of large windows and its own mini-split heating and cooling system, this space is filled with natural light and offers wide views of the surrounding countryside throughout the seasons.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms have all been fully renovated with new insulation, wiring, sheetrock, paint, flooring, and updated fixtures, making the second level feel fresh and move-in ready. Mechanical updates include an LP forced-air furnace and central air system installed approximately three years ago, a new roof four years ago, and a drilled well (375 feet deep) producing approximately 30 gallons per minute.
The property sits on approximately 5 acres, offering a large yard area along with additional acreage currently being farmed by a neighboring operator for the 2026 season. Following harvest, this area could be fenced or transitioned into a variety of uses depending on the new owner's plans.
The farmette is complemented by a 25' x 105' machine shed featuring a concrete floor, electricity, water, and a center section that is framed, insulated, and heated with an LP shop furnace - well suited for equipment storage, workshop space, or hobby use.
This is a well-updated rural property offering privacy, flexibility, and the opportunity to enjoy country living with space to make it your own. Mercer County School District, and approximately 40 minutes from Quad Cities International Airport.
