Property Description

Every so often, a property comes along that truly stands apart ? and this is one of them. Set just minutes from Ely on 9 acres of gently rolling land and timber across two separate parcels, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and versatility, all within easy reach of Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Solon, and the Eastern Iowa Airport. Built in 2020 with uncompromising attention to quality, the custom home offers over 4,100 finished square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Handcrafted cabinetry, premium finishes, and an open, light-filled layout define the interior. The main level features a stunning wall of windows with peaceful timbered views, a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, formal dining, and a split-bedroom design for privacy. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with sunrise views, a spa-inspired bath, and a zero-entry shower with multiple diverters, including rain and wall-massage features. The walkout lower level is equally inviting, with a knotty alder wet bar, spacious family room, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a dedicated workout room, and a flexible space ideal for specialty storage or hobbies. Radiant in-floor heat warms the lower level and garage, while spray-foam insulation and smart lighting controls contribute to the home's impressive energy efficiency. Outdoor living is seamless and accessible, with zero-step entry from both the attached garage and the screened porch ? a favorite gathering spot for the sellers. A circular drive, countryside views, stubbed gas line for a future firepit or outdoor kitchen, and a whole-house generator complete the setting. Adding exceptional value and flexibility is the 4,800 sq ft accessory building, built in 2019 and fully insulated with spray foam and radiant floor heat in three zones. It includes three oversized overhead doors, a mechanical room with laundry hookups, a walk-up storage loft, and a finished 800 sq ft living space with a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a full bath ? ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private work-from-home setup. Located directly on a hard-surface road adjacent to a trailhead for the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, this property offers a rare combination of lifestyle, convenience, and long-term versatility. More than a home, this is a thoughtfully designed estate that supports the way people truly live today. Buyer to verify property taxes and finished square footage.
