About this home
Rare opportunities like this are seldom available in the Ames area. This exceptional 7+acre estate setting offers a remarkable combination of privacy, natural beauty, and build-ready improvements that would be difficult and costly to recreate today.
A private driveway extending approximately 1,200 feet from 550th Avenue leads to a secluded three-sided peninsula home site surrounded by mature hardwood timber and Walnut Creek. Thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and views, the homesite provides an ideal setting for a custom residence designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings while enjoying abundant wildlife and the tranquility of country living.
Unlike typical raw acreage, much of the early development work is in process or has already been completed. The property will include electricity, rural water, fiber optic internet service, and an installed four-bedroom, 1500 gallon, sand septic system, allowing the next owner to begin the building process with significantly less time, uncertainty, and expense. The driveway and homesite have already been established, and the property has been pre-wired for future driveway lighting and a security gate, creating an impressive entrance and enhancing long-term privacy.
Adding to the property's uniqueness, more than two acres are designated as Outlot A and protected from future development, helping preserve the natural setting and privacy for years to come. Additional undeveloped areas are intended for Iowa Forest Reserve treatment, further enhancing the property's long-term character and land stewardship.
Whether you envision a luxury executive residence, a private family retreat, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this remarkable acreage offers an exceptional foundation. Imagine morning coffee overlooking Walnut Creek, evenings surrounded by mature hardwoods, and year-round enjoyment of one of Story County's most picturesque natural settings.
Located just minutes from Ames and Iowa State University, the property combines the convenience of nearby shopping, schools, healthcare, and employment with the peace and seclusion of an estate-sized country setting. The combination of mature timber, creek frontage, completed infrastructure, protected open space, and build-ready improvements creates a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity.
If you've been searching for more than just vacant land--if you've been searching for a property that already possesses the character, improvements, and setting that typically take years to create--this Walnut Creek estate deserves your attention....
