1582 N River Trail

About this home

A rare Madison County property where country living, history & opportunity come together on 44.88 acres—just 25 min to West Des Moines & 15 min to Winterset. Professionally restored native prairie grasses & wildflowers with mowed trails, timber, 2 ponds (1 stocked), full fencing & sweeping countryside views create an exceptionally private setting with spectacular dark skies. The 3,468 SF finished walkout ranch features hardwood floors throughout the main level, stone wood-burning fireplace, coffered ceiling & an open white kitchen with huge island, walk-in pantry/coffee bar & garage pass-through. Main-floor office, laundry/mudroom & primary suite with beautiful views, walk-in closet & tiled shower complete the main floor. The walkout lower level offers 3 BRs, full bath, flex/exercise room, family room & wet bar. Open & covered decks plus covered patio. Geothermal HVAC keeps utilities low, 3-car garage & new exterior paint in 2026. And then there are the outbuildings: a refurbished 32x44 1850s hand-hewn oak barn currently hosting weddings & gourmet dinners; a 30x63 building with water, electric & bath, currently leased as a farm store/event space; plus a detached 2-car building. Commercial zoning on the barn and outbuildings allows the next owner to continue or expand current uses—or make it all for their own personal use.
