Fabulous Iowa hilltop acreage with sensational views all around! You'll appreciate the quality construction and finish in this Energy Star ranch design, custom designed and built by Horton/Robinson Builders of Indianola. The kitchen with rich maple cabinetry and 7' island opens to dining and great room areas and boasts of a soaring 16' vault ceiling and two dormers that add lots of natural light to this entertaining space. A pantry is just off the kitchen and the main level laundry is readily accessible at entrance from the oversized two car garage. The master suite is 15 x 15 and leads into the master bath where you'll relax in the jet tub, enjoy the large shower, double vanities, and large walk-in closet with center island dresser. This room could easily be converted to an additional bedroom/nursery or office. Lower level is a full 8' height and has a rec room, family room, two bedrooms and storage room. Great energy efficiency with geothermal heating/cooling, argon windows (Marvin), 2 x 6 construction and insulated garage. A patio area, bordered by roses, invites you to take a break and relax on the swing under the pergola. Near the barn entrance you'll find a small storage shed edged with beautiful perennials. The 36 x 72 steel barn is also custom designed and has 11' ceilings and electric garage door, ample water and lighting, Triton 2x6 tongue and groove stalls and office/tack room. Crossbucks dress the exterior of the barn. A 60 x 140 sand arena is just outside east entrance of barn. All pastures have central electric and water access and are fenced with hot rope. If not interested in equestrian use of this property, Triton stalls and all fencing can quickly and easily be removed. Approx 4 acres of natural timber lie across the creek on this property. Located only 20 min from capital city of Des Moines, recently voted as the #1 location in the US to live and work.
