1.5 story estate custom-built in Des Moines Metro. With 11,000 square feet (8650 finished), this home includes 8 beds, 6 baths—all crafted with exquisite finishes and quality materials. With a 4 stall garage and an amazing 3 acre lot, this home would easily be north of $3-4 million to build today. Despite its size, its eco-friendly geothermal HVAC systems, air-tight walls and pond-pump irrigation system result in incredibly low utility costs. It was recently remodeled by local, well-known designer, giving you a practically new home! The remodel includes: updated, trend-facing flooring (Italian tile and wide plank white oak), beautiful light fixtures, and a complete kitchen and master suite remodel. The home includes 10’ ceilings throughout with 8’ solid core cherry custom doors. The front entry and great room have 21’ ceilings and a current stone fireplace. Your family will love the unparalleled game room, naturally-lit exercise room, the billiards room with a wet bar, as well as the theater room featuring an 11’ screen and custom coffered ceilings. The back of the home includes oversized Anderson windows with views of the private pond, fruit orchard, and wooded equestrian park. Some other features include 3 fireplaces, a fully-stocked fishing pond, basketball and pickleball sport court, and beautiful lawn. This 3.1 acre parcel is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac north of Grimes (Johnston schools). This is an incredible deal for the size and value of this home today.
