If you've been saying "I want land, privacy, and a home that actually has it all"… I found the perfect home for sale in Ankeny.

Picture your normal weekday: coffee in the bright kitchen with that stunning custom island, a good book on the screen porch, summer BBqs in the huge backyard, a quick run to Saylorville Lake trails or Prairie Trail, then coming home to a place that actually feels like a reset. 🥰

What I love about this home:
• 4.15 wooded acres on a private drive — meaning no neighbors in your sightline and a backyard that feels like a nature retreat every single day
• Nearly 6,000 finished sq ft with a lower level built for fun, that's perfect for hosting — golf simulator, wet bar, gathering space, and a putting green outside
• 4-car garage plus a separate heated shop — whether it's cars, hobbies, or a home gym setup, the space is there
• Every finish already done — no renovation list, no compromises, just move in and start living

If you're dying to know more about this one, DM me and I'll send you the listing info!

I walked through this property and kept changing my mind about what I loved most.

4 acres of wooded privacy with a putting green in your backyard is enough to make you fall in love — but this home is also minutes from Prairie Trail, Saylorville Lake, and top-rated schools without sacrificing that "worlds away" feeling.

Tucked away at the end of a long private drive near Saylorville Lake and trails, this masterpiece gives you ultimate privacy while staying just minutes from Prairie Trail and top-tier schools.

If you're a Des Moines area homeowner, chances are someone wants to buy your house...

Every week, buyers come to me asking for open concept homes in great neighborhoods, bigger yards, and homes with character.

The problem is, there are limited options available in Des Moines area.

So I start looking. Asking around my network, and reaching out to homeowners who aren't even thinking about selling yet.

And most of the time, they're genuinely surprised by the demand and what buyers are willing to pay.

If your home fits the bill, I'd love to chat.

DM me "match" or send this to a friend who's been thinking about making a move.

And if these ones don't quite match what you're looking for, send me a message. A big part of my job is helping clients find off-market opportunities.
