Beyond a private stone gate and winding drive lies an estate unlike anything Iowa has seen—crafted not just as a residence, but as a legacy. Set on nearly 18 acres of manicured grounds, every view is framed by sculpted gardens, cascading water features, and a koi-filled pond that feels more like a work of art than landscape. Inside, grandeur unfolds with Corinthian columns, soaring ceilings, and masterful millwork that speaks to timeless craftsmanship. The primary suite is a retreat of indulgence, from the marble-clad spa bath to a custom dressing room designed with the elegance of a European boutique. Beyond the main residence, an exceptional outbuilding offers an additional bathroom, custom cabinetry, and abundant, adaptable space—equally suited for a car collection, boats, or a private workshop. A château-inspired pump house, full-property Cummins generator, and rare privacy complete the picture. With its sweeping acreage, the estate carries the flexibility for future visionaries—preliminary concepts exist for a limited subdivision, available upon request. For the discerning buyer seeking rarity, presence, and beauty that must be experienced to be believed—this is it. The estate offers far more than can be captured here; additional details and private showings are available directly through the listing agent. Every element, indoors and out, reflects a commitment to artistry and enduring quality, ensuring its stature for generations to come!
