Description
Luxury estate with guest residence and an extraordinary 4,800-square-foot climate-controlled building, all set on 9 acres of gently rolling land and timber across two separate parcels just minutes from Ely, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Solon, and the Eastern Iowa Airport. Built in 2020 with uncompromising attention to quality, the custom-designed residence offers over 4,100 finished square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space. Handcrafted cabinetry, premium finishes, and expansive windows overlooking the timber create a home that is both elegant and welcoming. The open-concept main level features a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, formal dining area, and a split-bedroom floor plan designed for comfort and privacy. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with peaceful sunrise views, a spa-inspired bath, and a zero-entry shower featuring multiple shower heads, including rain and wall-massage functions. The walkout lower level is equally impressive, offering a spacious family room with a knotty alder wet bar, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a dedicated workout room, and a versatile flex space ideal for hobbies, specialty storage, or future customization. Radiant in-floor heat serves both the lower level and attached garage, while spray-foam insulation and smart lighting controls provide exceptional energy efficiency and year-round comfort. Designed for effortless living, the home offers zero-step entry from both the attached garage and the screened porch—one of the sellers' favorite places to relax and entertain. A circular driveway, sweeping countryside views, a stubbed gas line for a future outdoor kitchen or firepit, and a whole-house generator further enhance the property's comfort and functionality. A true standout feature is the exceptional 4,800-square-foot accessory building, constructed in 2019 and designed with the same commitment to quality as the main residence. Fully insulated with spray foam and equipped with three-zone radiant in-floor heat, the building features three oversized overhead doors, a mechanical room with laundry hookups, and a walk-up storage loft. It also includes a beautifully finished approximately 800-square-foot guest residence complete with a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a full bath—perfect for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private office, or caretaker quarters. Located along a hard-surface road adjacent to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail trailhead, this remarkable property offers an uncommon combination of luxury, flexibility, convenience, and long-term versatility. Whether you're seeking an exceptional personal residence, space for hobbies or business pursuits, accommodations for extended family, or simply room to enjoy the outdoors, this estate delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. More than a home, this is a legacy property thoughtfully designed to support the way people truly live today. Buyer to verify property taxes and finished square footage. Above-grade finished square footage shown in the MLS, along with the bedroom and bath counts, includes the 800-square-foot guest residence.
