General Description

Sitting upon perhaps the highest perch of West Lake Okoboji, the breathtaking views to the north and south of the lake are second to none. This gorgeous home and attached guesthouse features an expansive 108' of lakeshore, providing the upmost privacy and seclusion from both edges of the property, which is a hard to come by around the lake. The lakeside space includes a professionally installed putting green by intelligent turf and greens finished off with artificial turf (a must for your furry loved ones). The lakeside trolley takes care of any concern you may have with the brand new stairs. You will love the 3.5 car heated garage with the professionally installed floor by adaptive coatings. Another rarity for a West Lake property is the u-shaped driveway offering plenty of parking for all of your friends and family. Inside the home, you will appreciate in-floor heat, 2 primary suites offering showers with body jets and thermostatic valve/temp controls. You will walk in to a welcoming entry with 26 foot ceilings, followed by 12 and 10 foot ceiling throughout. This home is also smart-home enabled with security throughout. Ohhh, and then the guesthouse. The guesthouse has been completely updated, and is 3 bed, 2 bath, with a basement for a storm shelter, laundry and utilities. The entire property boasts 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a sports room (3 TV's), 2 media rooms, workout room, office, and plenty of storage. Properties like this are simply few and far between. Trades considered. Owners are licensed real estate agents in the state of Iowa.

The West Lake "Tie Up"

The West Lake

For most leisure boaters in the Iowa Great Lakes, there are 2 main hot spots to go throw an anchor, sit back, and just relax. Sometimes this will result in numerous boats tying up to one another (you may not even know your neighbor), and sometimes it results in a little more privacy where you can chill just by yourself. Every weekend, boaters make the trek across the deepest parts of West Lake to either Gull Point (North AND South side) and Miller's Bay. Thought there are many other great areas to throw an anchor, relax, and swim, these are the two hot spots. If you aren't sure where to go on a Saturday afternoon or wonder where your friends might be, these two spots would be a good start.

Haywards Bay

Haywards Bay in West Lake Okoboji

Haywards Bay on West Lake Okoboji boasts low approaches and one of the few areas on West Lake to offer sand beaches. Renowned for the "bay of the flags", you will know you are in Haywards bay because of the all the American flags on the end of the docks. Fishing is great in Haywards Bay and the sunsets are one in a million. To get to Haywards Bay by car, one would drive the east side of the lake on Lakeshore Dr.

"Turn-Over" Thermocline

Referred to locally as the lake turning over the thermocline is a feature of lakes with deep water. The water on the top of the lake changes temperature much more variably during the year. On West Lake, it can reach as much as 75 degrees in July while the water below, greater than 35 or 40 feet deep is relatively stable around 45 degrees. In the fall and early winter, the top strata of the lake will cool to below 45 degrees, and then because it becomes denser, it will "sink" below the lower strata, thus, displacing it and making the lake "turn-over". In the deepest part of West Lake (near the 136ft mark), no light is availble, and hence little life is known whether fish or plant. Typically questions are raised as to why the surface water gets dirty for a short period of time in the fall, this this is the standard answer.
