Quality and craftmanship throughout with this custom built, one owner home constructed in 2017 and set on nearly 80 acres of scenic Mississippi River bluff country just north of Savanna. A commercial grade asphalt driveway winds up to the house where it was thoughtfully located to capture both incredible sunrises and sunsets. Step in to an incredible great room featuring tall, vaulted ceilings clad in knotty pine and a two story wall of windows that welcomes natural lighting into the house as well as gives a front row seat to the views across the native prairie planting and wooded valley below. An open concept flows right into the kitchen and dining area highlighted by custom cabinetry and granite counter tops and island. Enjoy the convenience of main floor living with a main floor master and master bathroom as well as laundry. Rounding out the main floor is a Florida Room with windows showcasing views to the west and south and direct access to a composite deck. A massive attached 2,700 square foot attached and heated garage is one of the most impressive and unique features of the house. The garage features two overhead doors to the front of the house, one overhead door to the rear, and hot and cold water offering the space and flexibility every outdoors enthusiast or car collector dreams of! Back inside the house, a large lofted bedroom makes up the only second story room and on the lower level you will find another entertaining space with south facing windows and a full wet bar, an additional bedroom, a large office, storage space and utilities. The land is teeming with wildlife including whitetail deer, turkey, bobcats, coyotes and small game. A long and narrow ridgetop field extends all the way to the west end of the property and is a blank slate for food plots, additional habitat work and tree plantings, or potentially cash rent for crops or alfalfa ground. Three separate native prairie plantings are established on the property, and the balance of the acreage is hardwood timber with dramatic rolling ridges both south and north facing, hundred year old mature Oak trees, and a nice stream creek in the wooded valley. The acreage is your own 80 acre wilderness retreat enrolled in a Conservation Stewardship Program, but it also offers direct adjacent access to 2,500 +/- acres of public recreational land of the Mississippi Palisades State Park. This property has been immaculately maintained and is awaiting its new owner-you must see firsthand to appreciate the quality of construction and the beauty of the land!
