Property Description

Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of Johnston! Including 3 parcels, this rare 9-acre mostly wooded property offers everyday convenience — just minutes from schools, trails, shopping, and all city amenities...combined with serene views of mature timber boasting deer, turkey and other wildlife, walking trails that wind through your private woods, and plenty of open space for recreation, gardening, or keeping animals. Step inside the nearly 2,700 total finished sq ft home featuring a spacious, open layout designed for comfortable living and entertaining. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a walkout lower level that expands your living space and provides easy access to the outdoors. Cozy up by the fire or take in the view from the vaulted ceiling sun room. Outdoors is a fully fenced yard for domestic pets, and you’ll love the 24’ x 40’ detached outbuilding — fully equipped with power and a concrete floor, ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage. Located in unincorporated Polk County outside city limits with no covenants or HOA, you have the freedom to live the lifestyle you’ve dreamed of — all while staying close to everything town has to offer. A small horse barn adds even more versatility for those looking for a hobby farm or room for animals. If you’ve been searching for the perfect blend of nature, space, and convenience, this in-town acreage is it!
