Looking for privacy without sacrificing proximity? This one-of-a-kind acreage is tucked away on just over 1 acre of lush, green landscape—so secluded, you won’t see another house in sight. Surrounded by nature, this property offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country living just minutes from downtown Decorah. Step up to the main level, where you’re greeted by an open-concept kitchen and a stunning great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the outside in. The deck extends off this space in both the front and back, providing the perfect place to sip coffee, spot wildlife, or simply take in the serenity. Also on the main level is a flexible space currently used as a family room or dining area, but it could easily be transformed into a large office or even an extra bedroom. You’ll also find a full bathroom, a cozy bedroom, and a convenient laundry area. Above the great room is a newly finished lofted room with its own ensuite three-quarter bathroom. Whether you use it as a primary suite, guest quarters, or creative studio, it offers privacy and style with a view overlooking the living area below. The lower level is accessible from both inside and outside the home. Recently renovated, this space is incredibly versatile with a second kitchen, a generous living area, two additional rooms that could serve as bedrooms or offices, a three-quarter bath and another washer and dryer. It’s the perfect setup for a mother-in-law suite, short or long-term rental, or additional living space for your own family. Outside, enjoy an attached two-car garage and a bounty of established plantings including fruit trees, asparagus, rhubarb, and berries—all ready for you to harvest and enjoy. This is the sweet spot you’ve been waiting for—secluded acreage, flexible layout, and, all minutes from the heart of Decorah.
