A
$1,549,000 home in Van Meter, Iowa, offers a unique blend of log cabin charm and modern amenities. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom property sits on nearly 13 acres, providing expansive views in all directions. The home's log cabin aesthetic is enhanced by knotty-pine walls, wooden beams, and a geothermal heating and cooling system.

    The main level features a family room with a fireplace, a kitchen with alder wood cabinets and granite countertops, and a designated laundry room. Upstairs, the second level includes two bedrooms and a loft landing that could be used as a reading nook. The finished lower level provides easy access to the grounds and features its own family space with a fireplace and wet bar.

    The property also boasts multiple fireplaces, a hot tub, and two heated garages. Originally designed for horse enthusiasts, the land includes two horse pastures, a fenced riding area, and a Morton Building barn with an office. However, new owners without equestrian interests can still utilize the large acreage for creative development.

    The home's many windows offer long views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for enjoying all four seasons. The property is listed by Susan Vujnovich of American Home Sales Inc. and is available for private showings at 515-221-1200.
