About this property

Prairie retreat with 40 acres! Near Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and Amana Colonies.

  • This unique property is a nature-lover’s dream - with 40 private acres of Iowa’s natural landscape. The well-maintained recreation trails through the prairie are perfect for hiking and flower picking in warm weather or cross-country skiing in the snow. You can also explore the creek, pond, and restored wetland habitat located on the property. (Pond has been disconnected from the creek out of respect to the neighbor farmers tile lines, it no longer has good recreational value) The spacious yards and large deck surrounding the house are perfect for outdoor games, family gatherings, and more!

    The house itself is unlike any other! Originally built in 1912, the 3 large additions were artistically created from preserved Iowa barn wood. This includes the spacious sunroom with heated floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stained-glass accents. Many of the unique wood pieces and furniture in the home were crafted right here in our shop – including the one-of-a-kind vardo wagon parked outside!

    Property is conveniently located near Iowa City, Cedar Rapids & The Amana Colonies - only 17.6 miles from the Eastern Iowa Airport. Guests can enjoy easy check-in and check-out with keyless entry. For your safety there are outward facing security cameras located on the house and shop. Cameras point away from the structures only and the inside of the house is never visible.

    Please note the additional charge over 6 guests.
