3158 Misty Meadow Rd, Salem, IA 52649

This isn’t just a home—it’s the private waterfront escape everyone is looking for and almost no one can find. Positioned at the end of a private dead-end road, this 1,983 sq. ft. ranch sits on 3.05 mostly open acres, surrounded by a stocked pond, agricultural fields, timber and a tree farm. Translation: exceptional privacy, protected views and no nearby development in sight. Start your morning watching wildlife from the composite deck, spend the afternoon fishing or kayaking from your dock, and end the day beside one of three gas fireplaces. The main level features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and spacious kitchen, dining and living areas. Downstairs, the nearly fully finished walk-out lower level delivers a large rec room and conforming 4th bedroom with an en suite 3/4 bath and direct access to the stamped patio—creating an ideal private space for guests or extended stays. Then there are the upgrades: geothermal heating and cooling, Generac whole-home generator, roof replaced in 2018, new tankless water heater, septic system replaced and radon mitigation installed in 2017, newer composite deck and patio, tasteful landscaping and a koi pond. A 3-car attached garage with a separate heated workshop completes the package. Properties with this combination of privacy, acreage, water and versatility rarely become available. HOA provides for shared pond and private road upkeep. Subject to restrictive covenants designed to preserve the character and integrity of the subdivision.
