About This Home
As of April 2026Own a wooded acreage just minutes from Ames in Gilbert School District. On pavement, this private property offers the serenity of country living while remaining convenient to town, with Ada Hayden Heritage Park less than half a mile away and quick access to I-35 and Ames. Set atop a bluff & overlooking the Skunk River Valley, the home is surrounded by trees and natural views. Inside, the home has hardwood floors throughout in pristine condition, two wood-burning fireplaces, and gorgeous built-ins. The main level features a formal dining room overlooking the backyard and surrounding timber, along with a spacious kitchen offering cabinetry galore that complements the character of the home while looking out at the wooded landscape. Just beyond the dining room is a one-of-a-kind sunroom filled with natural light that truly feels like it belongs in a magazine- perfect as a sitting room, reading room, or year-round sunroom. Up just a few stairs are four generously sized bedrooms, each large enough to accommodate substantial furnishings. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, custom cabinetry, jetted tub, and walk-in shower, creating a spa-like atmosphere. Living spaces, offering flexibility for a family room, recreation area, or home office, along with a true mudroom with walkout access to the backyard and an additional bathroom. Outside, the property continues to impress with a fenced yard, 2-car attached garage, and a 22' x 26' heated shop
