Listing Description

Discover Wayuga -- A Peaceful Greene County Retreat Tucked beneath mature trees and approached by a wooded drive, Wayuga offers something increasingly hard to find: privacy, character, and room to enjoy the outdoors, all just half a mile from Highway 30.

Located at 835 230th Street, this unique rural property feels wonderfully secluded while still providing convenient access to nearby communities. The home offers 3 bedrooms plus a flexible den that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, home office, nursery, craft room, or hobby space.

New carpet and updated bathroom flooring add a fresh touch, while the bright 4-season room may quickly become your favorite place in the house. Enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a book, entertain friends, or simply take in the changing Iowa seasons.

Outside is where Wayuga really sets itself apart. A magnificent old oak stands on the hill behind the home--the very tree that inspired the original owner to build here. Wildflowers, birdhouses, and feeders attract songbirds and butterflies, while deer and other wildlife are regular visitors.

Whether you envision gardens, animals, outdoor projects, or simply a quieter pace of life, there's space here to make it your own. The detached art studio adds even more possibilities. Originally built as a 3-stall horse shelter, with feeders still in place, it could potentially be converted back for horses or adapted for chickens, goats, hobbies, gardening supplies, or creative space.

A 4-car garage provides outstanding vehicle and storage space, and one separate stall offers excellent potential for a dedicated workshop. Wayuga--named for 'serenity'--is more than a house. It's a place to spread out, create, garden, enjoy animals, watch wildlife, and experience the peace of rural Iowa without giving up convenient highway access.

If you've been waiting for a property that doesn't look or feel like everything else on the market, Wayuga deserves a closer look. Come down the wooded drive, stand beneath the old oak, and imagine what you could create here. Schedule your private showing and experience Wayuga for yourself.
