Secluded Country Home And Acreage On Wapsipinicon River
2750 160th Avenue Calamus, IA 52729
Description
For those people wanting to get away from the hustle of life and have your very own retreat, look no further than this beautiful property. This custom-built home is sitting on the banks of the Wapsipinicon River, with a half-mile owned private drive for the ultimate in seclusion. The majority of the property is out of the flood zone, so you have million-dollar views and access! Just to the north of the house lies a very large backwater slough that is teeming with waterfowl, fish, and paddle sport opportunities. This is easily accessed from the trail network that starts at the horse barn. Some of the adjacent land is public and is easily accessed from your property. The timber is mature hardwoods with white oak, red oak, walnut, hickory, as well as others. There is a timber harvest on the property if you would choose. I was amazed at the topography of this upland timber, it is amazing! There is abundant deer and turkeys on the property, and while I was taking photographs the gobblers were singing their songs! The property has not had any hunting improvements done to it. You can easily food plot the pasture to the east of the barn. The barn is set up with individual stalls, with ample area for additional storage. It is a pass-through style barn with doors on the east and west sides to improve airflow. In the corral is a frost-free hydrant, so no more hauling water. There are two separate pastures with quality fencing around both. All you will need to do is haul your livestock in. If having some livestock is not your thing, the pasture could be converted to a garden, orchard, about anything you can imagine, even a small organic farming opportunity. The house is just stunning. The porches invite you to sit for a minute even before entering the home. Once inside the great room of the home, which features both gas and wood stoves, you will notice how much natural light streams in. The wonderful open floor plan is so inviting! Three-season and two-season porches are on the south and west sides of the home. Large doors open up to allow the sounds and smells of spring to permeate the entire house. The master suite is on the main level and features a very large whirlpool tub and walk-in shower. The laundry room is just off the garage and the master bath. Installed is a doggie shower for when your pets came up from the river muddy! Two additional bedrooms are on the second level as well as another bathroom. The large 2-car garage tops off the complete package. If you are looking for the seclusion your life deserves, with all the extra comforts you want, this IS your new home.
