Beautiful country home with acreage & geothermal H & C

Beautiful country home on 8 acres just outside of Woodward, IA.

The upper part of the house (built in 1957) was moved from Ames to its present location in 1994 when the lower level was built.  The roof was re-shingled in 1994.  The upper level has vertical wood siding in excellent condition and partially painted last fall and currently being finished. 
 
This home even has a geothermal heating and cooling system that will keep your energy costs low, a huge bonus with the cost of gas and electricity on the rise!  The compressor on the pump was just replaced in January '08.  There is also a wood burning stove downstairs to help heat the house during those really cold winter days and nights. 

The finished walk out lower level of this home includes 2 bedrooms, living room, furnace/utility room (with washer and dryer) with gas water heater, 3/4 bath, and small kitchenette. 

The upper level has cypress wood walls throughout.  There are 2 bedrooms, bathroom, a huge great room with ceiling to floor windows and fireplace, and a great kitchen with small dining area and wood burning cook stove.  Applicances included are refrigerator, gas stove, and microwave.  The kitchen is also accented with tiles telling the story of Don Quixote.

This property offers a beautiful park-like yard and a 2.5 car detached garage which makes a great workshop.  Pretty secluded and peaceful, though there are friendly neighbors up the road.

The deer hunter can even head out to the timber behind the house and bag his monster buck from his own tree stand right next to deer bedding area.  There is prairie grass/wildflower mix planted out back for wildlife habitat.  The Des Moines river is only a couple miles away and Saylorville Lake isn't too far either.  There is also a new bike trail being built just up the road.  Des Moines and Ames are both about 30 minutes away so there is plenty of entertainment in the area.
