Grand Iowa Home with World-Class Amenities and 26.69 Acres Hits Market for $2.75M
Amid the rolling countryside of Eastern Iowa, 6201 Lakeside Rd emerges as a true estate of distinction. Priced at $2.75 million, this 7,934-square-foot residence combines architectural grandeur, luxurious finishes, and world-class amenities—all set within 26.69 acres of lush wooded grounds in one of the most desirable pockets of Marion Real Estate.
Built in 1997, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home embodies the timeless elegance of a European villa with the practical features of a family retreat. From the in-ground pool and fully equipped pool house to the expansive garages and state-of-the-art interior systems, this home was designed to impress both inside and out.

Elegant Architecture Meets Functional Living
Entering the home, guests are welcomed by soaring cathedral ceilings, granite flooring, and an opulent chandelier that sets the tone for the grandeur beyond. The great room, with its gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and surround sound system, flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen. A granite island anchors the space, complemented by top-of-the-line appliances, a walk-in pantry, and luminous dining areas.
Beyond the kitchen lies a tranquil sunroom offering panoramic views of the manicured grounds. The main level also includes a formal dining room, a richly appointed den, and a luxurious master suite wing—complete with fireplace, walk-in closet, jetted tub, and private deck access.
“When clients first walk through the home, they’re always struck by the level of detail,” Hill tells Luxury Houses. “Every finish was thoughtfully chosen, from the stonework to the lighting.”

Outdoor Entertaining at Its Finest

“Whether you’re hosting a summer pool party or just enjoying a quiet evening by the outdoor fireplace, this home accommodates every mood and occasion,” says Hill.
Prime Location with Small-Town Charm
Situated within the top-rated Linn-Mar School District, 6201 Lakeside Rd also offers easy access to the cultural and culinary offerings of Marion.
