Buyers hunting for a substantial property highlighted by privacy, acreage and an in-ground pool often encounter the challenge of ticking off boxes on their wish list and facing the financial reality of a seven-figure price tag.
But in time for summer, a five-bedroom, two-story, $789,900 home for sale southeast of Adel fulfills much of that luxury life ambition, at a more affordable price point.
“The lot is absolutely exquisite, and the house is beautiful,” said Realtor Danielle Plank-Harris, who described the living experience as a permanent “staycation.”
Facing a screen of mature trees behind the 3,317-square-foot home, the present owners shared that locals are more likely to spot wildlife than vehicles at the northern end of Wildwood Drive. “When you drive in, you’re winding through all of these roads, and you’re going up and down hills,” Plank-Harris explained, and noted the proximity to a boat ramp on the Raccoon River and nearby biking and hiking trails.

Secluded from the region’s main thoroughfares and random traffic, the convenient location is almost equidistant from Waukee, Jordan Creek Town Center, and Adel’s downtown square. Ownership also provides access to the highly ranked Van Meter Community School District, a short drive to the south.
Years of investment, planning and pride of ownership have created a backyard landscaped with 150 conifers, 50 Japanese and Korean maple trees, tons of boulders and river rock, and two wildflower gardens.
The outdoor deck is constructed with Brazilian hardwood boards, famously utilized by the Atlantic City boardwalk for its durability. Outdoor opportunities include a lounging area around the fire pit, picnic dining by the grill and birdwatching during daylight hours.
