The highest priced listing ever sold in the Des Moines market closed in September for a sale price of $5.5 million. The massive home at 4000 Turnberry Drive in West Des Moines sits on 40 acres and boasts a massive party barn, an indoor swimming pool, and a private car wash. The home's original owner, local businessman Denny Elwell, placed an ad in the Wall Street Journal to attract buyers.The buyer of the home purchased the property under a business name to keep his/her identity confidential.
Here are a few facts about the home:
* It's a 1.5 story home with nearly 10,000 square feet finished, yet only 3 bedrooms.
* It has a 4-car attached garage and 6 bathrooms.
* Taxes on the property are $47,948 annually.
* The 15,0000 square foot Colorado-styled "Party Barn" can accomodate more than 500 guests.
* The home took four years to complete and cost Elwell more than $9 million to build.
And, unfortuantely no, this was not one of Cy's listings.
