A Luxurious Woodland Sanctuary in Estates West, AmesDiscover a meticulously crafted sanctuary nestled within the prestigious Estates West subdivision, offering unparalleled privacy on 2.8+ wooded acres while remaining just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, gas, and Highway 30. Nature surrounds you here—mature trees, a meandering creek, abundant wildlife, and direct access to Munn Woods and Emma McCarthy Lee Park create a serene backdrop in every season.
A quiet walk from the main residence leads you to a secluded gazebo and firepit area tucked into the trees—an intimate retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining amid the sights and sounds of the forest.
From the moment you arrive, the home's extraordinary craftsmanship is unmistakable. A heated front entry welcomes you inside, complemented by custom solid cedar garage doors that set an elegant tone. Expansive decks and patios extend the living space outdoors, offering panoramic views of the natural surroundings.
Inside, cabinet-grade woodwork, solid cherry beams with hidden mood lighting, and Hunter Douglas Pirouette blinds elevate every room. Porcelain tile flooring flows seamlessly throughout, while zoned geothermal heating and cooling delivers year-round comfort. Custom Hubbardton Forge hand-made wall sconces from Vermont add warm, artisan lighting throughout the home.The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and elevated culinary experiences. It features Thermador appliances in both the main kitchen and bistro area, a walnut wood island countertop, granite surfaces, a walk-in pantry, and two dishwashers for effortless hosting.
The luxurious primary suite is a private oasis with custom built-in side tables, a hand-cast bronze sink set in granite with an integrated refrigerator cabinet, and an oversized walk-in closet with a center island and pocket doors. The spa-inspired ensuite includes a TOTO Neorest toilet, Robern anti-fog mirrors, a collagen rejuvenation sun shower, and a chromotherapy soaking tub. Radiant-heated floors and shower seating complete the experience.
A beautifully crafted staircase with in-step lighting—or an elevator—leads to the lower level. Here, a spacious family room with custom Rustic Alder built-ins and a home bar (complete with dishwasher and ice machine) creates an inviting gathering space. For entertainment at its finest, the 300 sq ft custom theater room seats up to eight guests and includes:
Marantz Cinema 60 Surround Sound
