8076 NW 86th St, Johnston, IA 50131
What's special
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Iowa's most extraordinary private estates. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this remarkable 15-acre retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Over the past 26 years, the property has been transformed into a thriving landscape of restored prairie, mature woodlands, native plantings, ponds, a stream, and abundant wildlife habitat. More than two miles of private trails wind throughout the property, creating an immersive outdoor experience in every season. The beautifully updated home features open living spaces, panoramic views, geothermal heating and cooling, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and a 3-car garage. A large barn provides flexibility for equestrian use, storage, workshop space, or future possibilities. Surrounded by conservation land, protected creek corridors, and neighboring acreage dedicated to preservation, the setting offers a level of seclusion and long-term protection rarely found so close to city amenities. Shopping, dining, downtown Des Moines, and the airport are all just minutes away. Whether envisioned as a private estate, equestrian retreat, family compound, or nature sanctuary, this is a rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Iowa's natural beauty.
