Improvements

Custom‑built in 2017, a 3,014‑square‑foot home enjoys a hilltop setting with unobstructed views of the two ponds and the surrounding natural landscape. The home was thoughtfully designed for family living and memorable gatherings, with the great room serving as the true heart of the space. A soaring, wood‑beamed ceiling and a stone gas‑log fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Large windows frame views of the expansive backyard and the generous entertaining patio, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. From here, you take in views of grazing cattle and wide-open scenery. Open to the great room, the gourmet kitchen and dining room serve as a natural gathering hub, anchored by an oversized island that offers generous workspace and seating. The kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, premium stainless‑steel appliances and walk-in pantry. Just beyond the dining room sits a functional mudroom complete with a drop zone, built‑in desk, and full‑size laundry room. A dedicated bedroom wing includes the primary suite with a serene ensuite bath overlooking the landscape. Two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath with dual sinks, accompanied by a flexible bonus room that can function as an office, playroom, or fourth bedroom. Oversized garage located off mudroom.

Front and back patios sit beneath a standing‑seam metal roof, creating inviting spaces to enjoy the property in any season. The front porch is an ideal spot for morning coffee, offering peaceful views of the water and open prairie.

Beyond the patio, the expansive backyard provides endless opportunities for a future pool, sport court or custom outdoor features tailored to your lifestyle.
