This approximately 11-acre paradise straddles a rocky bend of Village Creek, Iowa’s only naturally reproducing Trout stream (and a best kept secret among anglers). The land is also ideal whitetail habitat. But more than anything, this secluded yet very accessible valley offers breathtaking long dis...tant views and a vast sky full of swooping eagles. There is roughly the same sized acreage on either side of the stream (which is spring-fed and flows year round). On the property’s far side there’s a charming woods along with a large wildflower meadow. At the center of a network of cleared paths, an elevated “Bird House” pavilion arises. Fully screened with futon bed and other furniture inside, it’s used as a rustic cabin for visiting guests and is especially popular with children. On the near parcel you’ll find the steel-sided-and-roofed cottage with a deep wrap around porch and a small red storage barn. The cozy home boasts central air and electric heat, 12 foot ceilings, hefty crown moldings and beadboad paneling painted bright white – making its moderate footprint feel expansive and airy. This place has style. There is a full kitchen and a large bathroom that includes a stackable washer/dryer in its own alcove. While officially a 1-bedroom home – this property actually sleeps 6-8 comfortably because the fully-finished, attached garage is insulated, heated and features two queen-sized loft beds, a child’s bed and an additional Twin Sized daybed. It’s essentially a dormitory – with a skylight, a utility closet concealing the furnace, electrical panels and convenient chest freezer (included), plus French doors leading on to a graveled back patio. The land features attractive rock outcroppings and has been dramatically regraded over the years to consolidate drainage and reinforce the waterway. The creek has several swimmable spots, and the current owners have planted hundreds of trees of many varieties along with thousands of perennials and flowering bulbs across the landscape. Most furniture, including numerous antique pieces, will be sold with the property - kitchen supplies, bedding and towels, etc. In short, this is a very special, very rare property that you could begin enjoying without delay.
