Description

Polk County Iowa Luxury Estate for Sale | Private 8.26± Acre Retreat in West Des Moines

Nestled on 8.26 private acres, Knob Hill Estate sits within one of Central Iowa’s most sought-after acreage locations, offering a rare combination of distinctive design, privacy, lifestyle, and location. Thoughtfully designed with a focus on timeless livability, this custom 4-bedroom, 5.5 -bath home was crafted to offer both refined elegance and everyday comfort—an uncommon balance in today’s market. Expansive living spaces, abundant natural light, and seamless integration with the surrounding landscape create a home that feels both grand and inviting. Extensively renovated, the 6,715-square-foot home showcases beautifully updated interiors and resort-style outdoor living. From the striking Italian marble fireplace feature wall to the private 20’ x 40’ in-ground pool and pool house, sauna, game room, and detached workshop with integrated greenhouse space, each element has been carefully curated to enhance both daily living and entertaining.

Positioned directly across from Maffitt Reservoir and more than 1,000 acres of preserved recreation, the property offers immediate access to fishing, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, and year-round wildlife viewing—creating a natural extension of the setting. What truly sets this property apart is its increasingly rare and difficult-to-replicate combination of acreage, architectural presence, luxury amenities, and immediate proximity to Jordan Creek Town Center, Des Moines International Airport, and downtown Des Moines. Opportunities offering this level of privacy, scale, recreation, and convenience are becoming increasingly rare in Central Iowa.

Properties of this caliber, where land, lifestyle, and location align, seldom become available.
