1905 Missouri Farmhouse, 1 Acre, Pool and Workshop — $150,000

Two thousand one hundred forty-four square feet for $150,000 in a 120-year-old farmhouse. That math is worth stopping on. You are getting a lot of house for the money, and the house itself has the kind of scale that older farm construction tended to produce — rooms built for actual use, not for a floor plan rendering.

The property is in Whitewater, Missouri, on one acre with farmland surrounding it. Wide open in every direction. If that kind of setting appeals to you, this delivers it plainly and without pretense.

The house was built in 1905 and has three bedrooms and one bath. There is a second story with an additional room, and a former carport that has been enclosed to create a flexible bonus space. The agent copy floats a list of possible uses for it — craft room, office, playroom — which is the polite way of saying it is unfinished and you decide what it becomes. Whether that reads as upside or work depends on you.

Outside is where things get more concrete. There is an above-ground pool with a deck wrapping around roughly three-quarters of it. That is a functional outdoor setup, not just a pool sitting in a yard. The deck gives it actual usability in summer. The 24 by 30 detached garage is the other standout. That is a two-car garage with real workshop room left over. For anyone who works on vehicles, builds things, or needs storage with actual square footage, it earns attention.

At under $70 per square foot, you are paying farmhouse prices for farmhouse space. The 1905 construction means you should go in with clear eyes about what a house that age might need — mechanicals, windows, insulation are the obvious places to look. The agent description is light on those details, so you would want answers before closing.

But the bones here are generous. The setting is quiet. The garage alone would cost real money to build. And the pool deck suggests someone put some thought into the outdoor space. This is a property worth walking.
