This luxury estate acreage in Earlham sits on 17 acres of land 20 minutes west of Jordan Creek Town Center. This rare find is full of amenities.

Located on a paved highway, the home sits back at the end of a paved driveway lined with flowering trees and glimmers in the sun with its copper-colored roof peaks. Step from the large front porch through the custom door and find a spacious first floor with variegated hickory wood floors and an oversized living room, dining room and kitchen.

The kitchen comes equipped with ceiling-height cabinets, an oversized island and a large walk-in pantry with rain glass.

The kitchen offers an oversized island.

Everything is accented with lighting, and throughout the home you’ll find custom wood features and heavy trim, from massive crown molding to custom headers above the windows. You’ll also find touches of wood here and there from a barn that dates back to the 1800s.

This home features two owner suites.

Two owner suites each have custom tile showers as well as built-in wall safes. An additional office/bedroom on the first floor features a hidden closet behind the custom bookshelf.

Heading to the finished lower level, you’ll notice the beautiful staircase with details like powder-coated rebar and custom barn beam rails. Downstairs, find more than 2,000 square feet of additional living space, including three huge bedrooms, a bathroom and a custom bar with barn wood accents.

Find another 2,000 square feet of living space on the lower level.

Sit at the conversation table, built from barn beams that cattle had rubbed on over a century ago and enjoy the character of the sliding barn door that had divided the silo and the barn. A large bank safe/storm room adds another 300 square feet of finished space.

This home in Earlham features a heated and cooled saltwater pool.

The property includes a 36-foot by 40-foot Morton Building, a 16-foot by 40-foot heated and cooled saltwater swimming pool, a pond that’s over an acre large, a creek and timber with an abundance of wildlife, from bald eagles and owls to deer and turkeys.

The home was built with quality as top priority, and it shows throughout the property. Imagine the sunrises, sunsets and chance to walk to your own pool or private pond, both within steps of your own backyard paradise.

The home is listed at $1.7 million by Nick Scar of Iowa Realty Mills Crossing. Contact Scar at 515-229-2379 to schedule a private showing of this dream property.
