Unique Southwestern-Style Log Home & Large Shop On +100 Acres 35 Minutes Fr

At the end of a winding driveway, beyond a stocked pond and hidden among the oak and hickory timber of Guthrie County, sits a property that feels far removed from the pace of everyday life. Located just 3 miles north of Menlo and less than 35 minutes from the west side of Des Moines, this 106.6-acre retreat combines privacy, recreation, and craftsmanship in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. The centerpiece of the property is a 1,955-square-foot custom log home thoughtfully designed with influences from the American Southwest. Rich wood textures, handcrafted details, and carefully selected finishes create a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately feels authentic. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with each room designed to take advantage of the surrounding views and natural beauty. Outside, the landscape is defined by mature oak and hickory timber that blankets much of the property. The rolling terrain, timbered ridges, and secluded setting provide exceptional habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and a variety of other wildlife. Whether your idea of a perfect day involves chasing a November buck, fishing from the bank of a stocked pond, hiking wooded trails, or simply enjoying the quiet from the porch, this property delivers opportunities in every season. A nearly 1.2-acre pond serves as both a recreational feature and a picturesque focal point along the approach to the home. As you make your way up the drive, the water, timber, and changing elevations create a sense of arrival that few properties can match. The improvements extend beyond the home with a 32' x 60' heated and air-conditioned shop. In addition to ample storage and workspace, the building includes a full bathroom and a finished room that could function as a guest suite, game room, office, or private retreat for visiting family and friends. One of the most appealing aspects of this offering is that it is being sold completely turnkey. Every piece of furniture, dcor item, and personal property shown in the photographs will transfer with the sale. The next owner can arrive with little more than a suitcase and immediately begin enjoying everything the property has to offer. Whether you're searching for a private residence, a weekend getaway, a hunting property, or an investment opportunity for short-term rentals, this property checks boxes that are rarely found together. It offers the feeling of a remote destination while remaining within easy reach of Interstate 80 and the Des Moines metro. For those who appreciate privacy, mature timber, quality improvements, and a property that is ready to enjoy from day one, this is a place worth experiencing in person.
