This large country home offers room to spread out, relax, entertain, and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with having space around you. A few of the updates include all kitchen appliances, flooring, mechanicals, roof and septic. These improvements provide valuable peace of mind and allow you to focus on enjoying your new home rather than wondering what needs to be replaced next. Gardening, entertaining family and friends, watching wildlife at the shared pond adds another special dimension to the property-creating a beautiful setting for morning coffee, relaxing evenings, fishing, wildlife watching, or simply enjoying the peaceful views. But wait there is more! Incredible 40 x 70 insulated building with concrete floors, heat and air, 12 ft overhead doors along with water serviced by the well plus fiber internet . This home really does offer so many of the features that appeal to living life in the country. ## Location - **Address:** 9870 Merrill Trail, Indianola, IA 50125 - **County:** Warren - **Coordinates:** 41.318461, -93.618933 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.318461,-93.618933 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://www.zillow.com/view-imx/d7551659-cbc7-4b7c-8cc8-5fc1a1bb3ce9?setAttribution=mls&wl=true&init ## Listing Agent - **Name:** NANCY LAXTON - **Brokerage:** Iowa Realty Co., Inc. - **Broker Phone:** (800) 724-2297 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/9870-Merrill-Trl_Indianola_IA_50125_M71580-31845?f=listhub&s=DMAARIA&m=750765&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2592367403r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f66618304r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1002274116r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f4043269057r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3426749778r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1037029580r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2373852432r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2150093552r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3084719555r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2400108686r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f957020851r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3983679269r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f972243202r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f4039350160r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2165330047r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1247937850r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3633116454r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3831769853r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3538528485r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2402710175r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f352335555r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3184789339r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f4063844233r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3500117769r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1554681090r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1390682893r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f4191529729r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f908873623r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3683840501r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1806925674r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f2094813049r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f930782149r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f219783953r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f1937223058r.jpg) ![9870 Merrill Trail - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/7e95d2e78a8a7c6e83714919bf83940al-f3771686406r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 750765 | **Updated:** 2026-10-28 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Des Moines Area Association of REALTORS®, Inc.
