Colorado Elegance Nestled in Nebraska 

Tucked into the heart of Omaha, 840 Loveland Drive stands as a rare example of what happens when architectural excellence, thoughtful engineering, and refined design come together. This custom District 66 ranch home built by McDaniel Wallquist Construction in 2015 blends luxury with livability, offering a serene retreat on a meticulously landscaped lot that feels both private and expansive. 

“This home, which sits on 1.35 acres, is spectacular in every way you look at it,” said Pam Beardslee, one of the listing agents, along with Deb Cizek, with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Ambassador Real Estate. “It has so many special features and elements in its 8,887 square feet of living. You really have to see it in person to appreciate all that it offers.” 

What makes this home unique is its unmistakable Colorado feel. The steeply pitched DaVinci roof (replaced in 2025), the generous overhangs, the interplay of wood and stone and the cozy, lodge like interior and exterior ambiance all contribute to a sense of rustic sophistication.  

Every inch of the outdoor environment has been intentionally designed, from the manicured plantings to the flowing hardscape to the hand-laid patio stone, all to complement the home’s architecture and provide a peaceful backdrop for daily living. 

One of the home’s most charming features is the enclosed sunroom, complete with a brick fireplace and built in grill. This space allows for year round enjoyment, blending indoor comfort with the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. 

Stepping through the front door, you’re immediately greeted by the warmth and richness of walnut woodwork that runs throughout the home. The top of the line craftsmanship—highlighted by majestic arched wood beams throughout the first floor—sets a distinctive tone for the interior: elegant, refined, and built to last. 

The main floor centers around a stunning great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. With soaring ceilings and abundant natural light radiating throughout the living room, the space is ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. 

“This is a home that works for a large family with kids as well as empty nesters who need room for when the family returns for holidays and gatherings,” Beardslee said. “The size is what makes this such an attractive property for everyone.” The large open kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. Outfitted with top of the line appliances, expansive countertops, and custom cabinetry, it blends functionality with beauty. The adjacent dining room includes a sophisticated chilled wine closet, a perfect touch for collectors or hosts who appreciate the finer details. 

The primary suite is designed as a true retreat. It includes a spacious office, dual walk in closets, and a spa like bath that invites relaxation. The same beams as those on the main floor frame the ceiling with old-world charm. Three additional bedrooms on the main floor provide comfort and privacy for family or guests, each with its own thoughtful design touches.  

“While it’s a large house in a densely populated part of town, it was designed and built to be very private and secluded,” Beardslee added. “From the stone facing to the stone patio and walkways to the wonderfully large but intimate downstairs theater room, it’s a really unique property.”  

The lower walkout level expands the home’s living space. Complete with an expansive, multi-seat theater room for movie nights, a well appointed wet bar for entertaining, and a dedicated workshop area, this level offers versatility and comfort.  

One of the standout features of this residence is its four car garage. The heated environment protects vehicles and equipment, while the generous space ensures storage and workspace coexist effortlessly. Inside, the home’s five-bedroom, six-bathroom layout offers flexibility for entertaining. The floor plan is open yet thoughtfully segmented, allowing each space to feel purposeful and inviting.  

The home was also engineered with sustainability and efficiency in mind. The HVAC system is powered by nine geothermal wells across three zones, ensuring exceptional climate control and reduced energy consumption. A whole house generator provides peace of mind, keeping the home running smoothly no matter the weather. 

With its luxurious finishes, open floor plan, and serene outdoor environment, this massive property is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. “Properties of this caliber, especially in such a sought after location, are truly rare,” Beardslee said. “Every detail has been considered, every space crafted with intention, and every feature designed to enhance daily living.”
