About this property

Lake Red Rock Cottage Retreat

Over 2,700 total square feet of finish on 1.35 acres that sits right on the lake includes: six bedrooms, two large living rooms (one on each floor), open kitchen, oversized kitchen table that can accommodate up to 14 people, three additional island countertop sits, 17' x 16' deck and patio underneath overlooking the lake with outside seating and grill, private beach, sandbox overlooking the beach, firepit area, and adjacent to 10+ acre tree reserve. We have some fun stuff in the house and garage that's all yours to use: board games, yard games, two TVs, two canoes, life jackets, three adult bikes and three kid bikes, one adult fishing pole and two kids, some kids toys (garage and in the sandbox toy chest) and campfire skewers.
This home was built for our family to host our kids and their families in the future.
The backyard backs up to Lake Red Rock, Iowa's largest. We are just around the corner from the marina (but can't hear it).
Enjoy wildlife right outside your door (deer, turkeys, bald eagle's nest a stones throw to the south along the coastline with over 30 bald eagles that come during the winter, foxes, and much more).
Items around the area to do and see:
Pella's town square for local stores and food (Jaarsma Bakery is a must)
North Overlook Park and Beach
Vermeet Mill & Historical Village (https://www.pellahistorical.org) better than you think and awesome for kids!
New and improved 12.5 miles Volksweg Trail (just down the block from the house) for biking/walking/jogging
Plenty of parks with playgrounds (Fifield, Cordova, Robert's Creek West, )
Disc golf at Robert's Creek
Central College
