Set on five private acres just outside the metro, this updated ranch delivers the space, freedom, and lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find - without sacrificing convenience to Des Moines. A true outdoor oasis to enjoy the peacefulness of the country - Evenings begin on the 18x18 covered composite deck with sun shade, where sweeping sunset views stretch across your fenced pasture, and end around the expansive patio or in the included hot tub. A 56x32 outbuilding with concrete drive, slab floor, electric and water - plus four horse stalls - opens the door to hobbies, animals, or serious workspace. Inside, the main level offers easy, everyday living with three bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry all on one floor. Updates include LVP flooring and stainless steel appliances, blending modern comfort with a functional layout. The walkout lower level, completely finished in 2021, extends the home with a spacious family room, wet bar with refrigerator, two additional bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, 1/2 bath, plus dedicated rec space and a home gym. Major improvements provide peace of mind: new stone and siding (2020), windows (2020), roof and gutters (2021), water softener and whole-home filtration, and radon mitigation already in place. With room to roam, entertain, and unwind, yet close to the Des Moines metro, this is acreage living, elevated.
