Just 2 miles south of Newell, Iowa, this extraordinary 87.29± deeded acre recreational property offers a rare opportunity to own a private escape where world-class outdoor recreation, income-producing land, and peaceful country living come together in one exceptional setting. Positioned in the heart of Buena Vista County and surrounded by productive agricultural ground and conservation habitat, this property delivers outstanding year-round enjoyment. Conveniently located just 15 miles from Storm Lake, approximately 65 miles south of Okoboji, 2 hours from Des Moines, and 2.5 hours from Omaha, this retreat feels secluded while remaining easily accessible. One of the defining features is the property's approximately 20± acre private prairie lake tucked quietly into the countryside. Enhanced in 2025 through partial dredging and stocking, the lake now supports walleye, bluegill, yellow perch, and may others. The lake serves as a regional destination for migrating waterfowl, creating exceptional duck and goose hunting opportunities. The surrounding habitat consistently produces excellent pheasant hunting. Located just one mile east of the Raccoon River Heritage Wildlife Corridor, the property also benefits from strong deer movement, particularly during the rut when hunting pressure pushes mature bucks into nearby sanctuary areas. This is more than a property—it’s a place to create memories for generations while enjoying everything Iowa’s outdoors has to offer.

Set on 1.94 wooded acres in Adel's coveted Mill Creek, this custom craftsman estate feels worlds away yet sits 15-20 minutes from West Des Moines. Cedar shake siding and Pella windows give timeless, Hamptons-style presence; inside, one-of-a-kind oak millwork, built-ins, and pocket doors reveal craftsmanship new construction can't replicate. Nearly 5,000 finished square feet center on a two-sided fireplace, a hearth room with overlooking loft, and a kitchen with leathered Labrador granite, Thermador range, and hardwood floors. The main-floor primary suite offers a soaking tub and marble shower; upstairs adds a Jack-and-Jill bath and a media room that flexes to a fifth bedroom. The walkout lower level brings a second kitchen, workout room, guest suite, and recreation space. Outside is the soul of the property: eight mature oaks, vintage peonies and lilacs, a three-tier English garden with fire pit, stone benches, and landscape lighting throughout, beautiful enough to host a wedding. Five garage stalls, updated mechanicals, rural water, advanced septic, and Earlham schools complete it. Mill Creek's HOA (~$1,000/yr) covers snow removal and roads.
