1610 steele branch road

Truly a rare opportunity for such a magnificent home in the perfect country setting! As you make the short drive from the small town of West Liberty, you find yourself passing by small 'maw and paw' farming operations and are drawn into that slower-paced, low-stress, country way of living. Pulling into the drive of this spectacular home, you cannot help but notice the beautiful ½ acre spring-fed pond off to your left with the beautiful backdrop of the wooded hillside. The setting of this home is something to behold for sure, as you can watch the morning sun rise and fog lift across the river valley to the east. This home originally began as a moderately sized all-brick house built in the 1970s, but was completely renovated in the early 2000s and expanded to what is now the perfect blend of nearly 6000 sq/ft of luxurious country living. Even more recently, the interior has had the final modern touches put on it with a complete interior overhaul. Nothing was spared in this spacious, modern home, from the heated indoor pool that provides year-round recreation and comfort on those cool fall nights. Maybe while you treat your guests to the most lavish of dinners, all prepared from the roomy kitchen, fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances designed around the ultimate culinary experience. With five bedrooms and 6.5 baths, you will never be crowded when the family and friends come to visit and settle down for the night. From the south side of the home, you overlook the picturesque, well-stocked pond, perfect for fishing, canoeing, and entertaining family, friends, or even large social gatherings. The home also offers other features such as a large recreational room, four fireplaces, a two-car attached garage, and a full basement, to name a few. This gorgeous home sits on 22 amazing acres of wildlife paradise. The wild turkey and deer seemed to have claimed the back yard as their own, with big gobblers frequently strutting in the yard and near the pond. With a few acres of pasture here, a small barn could be constructed, and you could even have yourself a horse or a few farm animals if you wish. The gardening area, greenhouse, and chicken run/coup are near the pond. This land also provides plenty of space to roam and is a nice mix of wooded timber, thick bedding cover, and browse, delivering ideal conditions for residential wildlife to thrive. The property has acted as a wildlife sanctuary over the years, with minimal hunting of any kind permitted. Tremendous deer and turkey populations exist across this farmland landscape. Whether it's hunting, fishing, ATV/horseback riding, camping, hiking, canoeing... you name it. The land alone provides something for everyone wishing to experience the great outdoors. If this combination of the ultimate home, outdoor recreation, beautiful views, and the country experience sounds like what you have been searching for, call me, let's see if this home and property are right for you.
