Every so often, a property comes along that simply has no equal — and this is it. Tucked just minutes from Ely, Iowa, on 9 acres of gently rolling land & timber that includes two separate parcels, this one-of-a-kind estate blends exceptional craftsmanship, premium functionality, and a setting that feels like a retreat. Built in 2020 with a discerning eye for quality, this custom home spans over 4,100 finished square feet with design elements and amenities that far exceed expectations. From the handcrafted cabinetry throughout to the expansive, open-concept living spaces, no detail has been overlooked. The main level showcases a wall of windows with timbered views, a gourmet kitchen with a massive island, formal dining room, and a split bedroom design for added privacy. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with sunrise views, a spa-like bath, and a zero-entry shower with multiple diverters featuring rain shower and wall massagers. There is radiant in-floor heat in the garage and lower level floors — offering everyday luxury and comfort. The walk-out lower level offers an inviting wet bar made of knotty alder, a large family room, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, dedicated workout room, and a flex space perfect for specialty storage. The home’s energy efficiency is second to none, with spray foam insulation and smart lighting controls via the app-controlled system. Outside, you'll find an expansive circle driveway, countryside views, and a tranquil screen porch the sellers say is one of their favorite places to relax — with zero-step entry from both the screen porch and the attached garage for easy, seamless access. A stubbed gas line is in place for a future firepit or outdoor kitchen. Plus a whole house generator for peace of mind Completing the property is an impressive 4,800 sq ft accessory building built in 2019 — fully insulated with spray foam and equipped with radiant floor heating in three zones. It features three oversized overhead doors and a mechanical room with laundry hook-ups. There is a walk-up loft for all of your storage needs and on the north end of the building is a fully finished 800 sq ft living space. This is the perfect ADU with a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom — ideal for guests, multigenerational living, home base business or a remote work setup. Located directly on a hard-surface road next to a trail head to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, the property is just minutes to the Eastern Iowa Airport, downtown Cedar Rapids, Solon, Iowa City, Lake Macbride, and a wealth of nearby parks, recreation, and community attractions. This is more than a home — it’s an uncompromising lifestyle property, and a rare opportunity to own something truly exceptional. Buyer should verify property taxes and the finished sq. ft. themselves.
