Lodge Paradise in the City Limits 
This Council Bluffs home has every amenity you (and visitors in your guest house!) might need — all on 100 acres of midwest paradise. Sip your coffee lakeside, relax by the cozy, lodge-style fireplace, or grab a bottle of wine from the cellar and enjoy a drink in the dining room with its 180 degree view.
Midwest California Chic
Get a little vintage charm mixed with modern elements in this gorgeous Council Bluffs home. Already featured in our Curb Appeal Spotlight, we’re so excited to share more of the interior! Modern details — like exposed wood, brick and chic light fixtures — contrast beautifully with the vintage details of the red tile flooring and decorative metal screens in the entryway.
Quaint Escape Perfect for Entertaining
This home has a beautiful interior, but with 1.2 acres of land and a backyard fire pit, we have a feeling you’ll be spending most of your time outside. Spend your mornings on the upper balcony and your evenings barbecuing outside on the built-in patio grill with friends and family. Make s’mores at the fire pit and take advantage of the sprawling yard as summer winds down.
Secluded Meets Contemporary
Homes with contrasting dark and light hues are on trend right now and we’re a bit obsessed. This home puts the style to use wonderfully with accents throughout the interior, but we especially love the kitchen! Black and stainless steel appliances contrast with stark white details to create a clean, modern space.
Modern Touches in a Classic Home
This classic, contemporary home is brought to life with modern touches. Light fixtures and updated cabinets in the kitchen spruce up the main floor and the white brick fireplace maintains its cozy atmosphere. We always love an open floor plan kitchen and living space — and the sink in the gorgeous kitchen island is just an added bonus!
Pool Party Perfect
This Oakland home starts showing off its charm from the curb with a classic white picket fence and wrap around porch. But the real star is the backyard! Pool party ready, the yard has a gorgeous wood deck encircling a pool as well as a built in grill and kitchenette. With left over space for lounging, this is the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining!
A Home with Room to Roam
This Silver City home sits on 27.4 beautiful country acres. With walkout decks on the upper and lower level, there’s plenty of room to appreciate the surrounding wildlife, landscape and those beautiful Iowa sunsets. Just picture yourself on that upper deck in the evening, sipping a glass of wine and taking in these late summer nights.
Secluded Lodge Getaway
This country home merges vintage lodge-style with modern updates. Surrounded by greenery and landscape, it sits on over four acres and the wrap around porch provides plenty of room to take it all in. And the sunroom with a raised seating area provides the perfect space to appreciate the view in the upcoming winter months as well!
Charming Country Seclusion
This classic Honey Creek home is so charming from the curb with its flowering trees, a white railing and a colored front door. But the view from the backyard is what has us swooning. The 2.65 sprawling acres is the perfect view to enjoy both on the deck or inside in the living room with its floor to ceiling windows.
On Trend Home in Glenwood
This home perfectly embraces the matte black trend — inside and outside! Dark shades on the exterior make it stand out from the curb and the interior is filled with black accents — in the kitchen, the living space and the master bath. We love the way the cabinets contrast with the hardwood and granite countertops!
