Description
Own the epitome of excellence in this one-of-a-kind recreational retreat in rural eastern Iowa. This ultra-premium offering includes a luxury cabin, a climate-controlled outbuilding, a thriving pond, and 80 acres of rolling prairie. For those who live in the Corridor, the location is phenomenal, with a 45-minute drive from Iowa City and under an hour from Cedar Rapids.
Cabin
The 3BR/3BA cabin, designed by the renowned Ahmann Companies architects, is the crown jewel of this property. It celebrates rural heritage with high-end materials like reclaimed barnwood, antique oak floors, channel lock cedar siding, hand-placed stone, and a commercial-grade Galv-Alum steel roof. The layout is simple and inviting. Entering the hallway through the three-stall garage, you'll see first-level laundry on the right. Ten-foot ceilings create a spacious and premium feel. A full bathroom is also on the right, and the master bedroom is just across the hall. The kitchen and great room form an open space with stunning views across the farm and pond. Upstairs, a loft hosts a second bedroom and bathroom with a stone shower floor. Downstairs, a hidden saloon offers a cozy spot to relive recent hunts and share stories. Modern comforts of the construction include efficient climate control, high-speed internet, quartz countertops, spray foam insulation, a video security system, Pella windows and doors, stainless steel appliances, and reliable rural water service.
Outbuilding
Across the concrete driveway is a climate-controlled outbuilding with a concrete floor, ceiling fans, and a mini-split system for heating and AC. This outbuilding stores farm equipment included in this offering: a 66-horsepower John Deere tractor with a loader and brush mower, a 60-inch zero-turn finish mower, and a two-row seating Kawasaki UTV. A Generac generator will automatically turn on when the power goes out. There is also an electric gate at the entrance, and video surveillance monitoring the property.
Pond
The nearly three-acre pond, constructed in 2011, is the heart of the farm. Managed by Bjornsen Pond Management, it supports a thriving population of bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. A quaint shed at the pond's edge serves as a boathouse with a dock for easy access to kayaks.
Recreation
The property has been meticulously restored to a native prairie through controlled burning. A seasonal creek runs west to east, and rolling hills create a large feel with multiple hiding places for wildlife. The land is abundant with whitetails and turkeys, and the region is known for a healthy population of pheasants and quail. Located just west of Williamsburg and a half-mile from Lake Iowa Park, this property benefits from proximity to a gorgeous county park offering hiking, a nature center, camper RV hookups, a beach, and fishing.
