Custom Douglas Fir Log Home on 2.27 Acres at Lake Silverado – Montezuma, Iowa

Experience lakeside living at its finest in this stunning custom-built Douglas Fir log home by Precision Craft, nestled on a scenic 2.27-acre lot at Lake Silverado. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 2,508 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with an open floor plan and breathtaking views of the lake.

The great room features soaring cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling stone fireplace and expansive windows that frame the partially wooded landscape, where deer, turkeys, and songbirds are frequent visitors. The gourmet kitchen showcases knotty Alderwood cabinetry, granite countertops, and tile and wood flooring that carries throughout the home. Designed with accessibility in mind, the home offers zero-step entry and wide doorways throughout.

The finished walkout lower level opens to a private patio, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in nature. Additional features include a whole-house Kohler generator, shore erosion control, drain tile on the open lot, and a dock with ladder and brackets for paddleboards. Enjoy your own garden with red raspberries, rhubarb, asparagus, onions, and beautifully established native grasses and wildflowers.

The property includes a covered two-car carport with footings in place for a future garage, and a 1,025 sq ft detached two-plus car garage with a fully equipped separate apartment. Ideal for a mother-in-law suite or income-generating rental, the apartment includes 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, laundry, full kitchen with custom cabinetry and appliances, an electric on-demand water heater, and a private walk-out covered porch.

A rare blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and versatility—this one-of-a-kind lake property is ready to welcome you home.
