There’s a certain stillness you only find in North Missouri. On the day this property was toured, the air was cold, the sun was bright, and everything felt quiet in the best possible way. That feeling is exactly what 14029 300th Road offers.Set on 22 acres in Putnam County, this property represents a true change-of-pace lifestyle. Rural, private, and grounded, yet close enough to town for convenience, it’s the kind of place where mornings start slower and evenings stretch longer.The home itself offers approximately 3,500 square feet, with an additional 1,600-square-foot unfinished basement ready for future living space, workshops, or storage. Whether you’re growing into the home or simply want room to spread out, the space is here.Outside is where the property truly shines. The acreage is ideal for a hobby farm or homestead setup. There’s room for gardens, space for animals with two paddocks already in place, areas for chickens, and the simple pleasures like clotheslines and open yard space. Well water supports a more independent way of living, while fiber optic internet keeps you connected to the modern world.This is the kind of property that’s “just big enough to have it all.” Enough land to enjoy privacy and self-sufficiency, but manageable for everyday life. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are present in the area, adding a quiet connection to nature without turning the property into a full-time hunting operation.Location matters too. You’re close to Unionville, Missouri, and Centerville, Iowa, where you’ll find groceries, schools, healthcare, and dining. Lake Thunderhead is nearby for recreation and relaxation. Regional access is strong, with Des Moines about two hours away, Kansas City roughly two and a half hours, and Kirksville under an hour.This property could be a homestead, a survivability-minded setup, or simply a peaceful full-time home. More than anything, it’s a place where rural living makes sense again.If you’re unfamiliar with North Missouri, call us and let’s talk about what life is like here. If you’re local, you already know.
