Welcome to Wayuga -- named for 'serenity,' and once you turn down the wooded drive at 835 230th Street, you'll understand why. Tucked beneath mature trees in rural Greene County, this 3-bedroom home plus a flexible den (ideal as a 4th bedroom, office, or nursery) blends comfort with real character and charm. Start your mornings with coffee in the sun-filled 4-season room, looking out toward the property's signature feature -- a magnificent old oak standing on the hill behind the home, the very tree that inspired the original owner to build here. Outside, a thriving wildflower garden and birdhouses/feeders lovingly maintained by the owner draw songbirds, butterflies, deer and wildlife year-round. The detached art studio began life as a 3-stall horse shelter complete with feeders and converts back easily for a small hobby farm -- chickens, goats, or a horse or two. The 4-car garage includes one separate stall ready to become a workshop. Air source heat pump heating keeps utilities low, and Highway 30 is just half a mile away. This is rural Iowa living with room to create, grow, and breathe. Schedule your private tour today.
