About This Home
Looking for a little more space, a little more quiet, and a place that doesn't look like every other home? Welcome to Wayuga. Named for 'serenity,' Wayuga begins to live up to its name the moment you turn down the wooded drive at 835 230th Street. Surrounded by mature trees in rural Greene County, this distinctive property offers the privacy and peaceful setting of country living while keeping you just half a mile from Highway 30. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms plus a versatile den that can easily serve as a 4th bedroom, home office, nursery, hobby room, or whatever fits your lifestyle. New carpet throughout and updated bathroom flooring provide a fresh start for the next owner. One of the home's most inviting spaces is the sun-filled 4-season room--the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, entertaining, or simply watching the seasons change. From here, your view stretches toward the property's magnificent old oak standing on the hill behind the home--the very tree that inspired the original owner to build here. Step outside and discover what makes Wayuga truly special. A thriving wildflower garden, birdhouses and feeders create a haven for songbirds and butterflies, while deer and other wildlife are frequent visitors. It's a property made for anyone who has dreamed of slowing down, gardening, creating, or simply having room to breathe. And there's room for your hobbies, too. The detached art studio was originally a 3-stall horse shelter with feeders still in place, offering the potential to convert it back for a small hobby farm with chickens, goats, or a horse or two. The 4-car garage provides exceptional storage, with one separate stall offering an ideal opportunity for a workshop. Wayuga isn't just a home--it's an opportunity to create the rural Iowa lifestyle you've been looking for. Bring your garden plans, your hobbies, your animals, or simply your desire for peace and privacy. Come walk the property, stand beneath the old oak, and experience Wayuga for yourself.
