Rare opportunity to own a wooded acreage just minutes from Ames in the highly sought-after Gilbert School District. Situated on over 2.5 acres on pavement, this private property offers the serenity of country living while remaining incredibly convenient to town, with Ada Hayden Heritage Park less than half a mile away and quick access to I-35 and Ames. Set atop a bluff and overlooking the Skunk River Valley, the home is surrounded by mature timber and peaceful natural views, creating a setting that feels like a true retreat while still being just minutes from everyday amenities. Inside, the home offers over 3,700 square feet of living space with beautiful hardwood floors throughout in pristine condition, two wood-burning fireplaces, and gorgeous built-ins that add warmth and character you simply do not find in many homes today. The main level features a formal dining room overlooking the backyard and surrounding timber, along with a spacious kitchen offering cabinetry galore that complements the character of the home while looking out at the wooded landscape. Just beyond the dining room is a one-of-a-kind sunroom filled with natural light that truly feels like it belongs in a magazine- perfect as a sitting room, reading room, or year-round sunroom. Up just a few stairs are four generously sized bedrooms, each large enough to accommodate substantial furnishings. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, custom cabinetry, jetted tub, and walk-in shower, creating a spa-like atmosphere. Living spaces, offering flexibility for a family room, recreation area, or home office, along with a true mudroom with walkout access to the backyard and an additional bathroom. Outside, the property continues to impress with a fenced yard, 2-car attached garage, and a 22' x 26' heated shop with 100A/240 V, providing excellent space for hobbies, storage, or additional workspace. Properties offering acreage, mature timber, Skunk River Valley views, and close proximity to Ames rarely become available, especially within the Gilbert School District. 413 W Riverside Road is a rare opportunity to own a private, nature-filled retreat just minutes from Ames with convenient access to I-35.
