WEST OKOBOJI LAKE, Iowa (AP) – Iowans looking for a little extra space might want to consider a nearly 25,000 square foot home for sale at West Okoboji Lake
The lakefront home, known as Peace Harbor, includes nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms and a full-size Irish pub, but it won’t come cheap.
Businessman Tom Bedell is asking $14.9 million for the lakefront mansion.
Bedell earned his fortune by expanding his father’s fishing tackle business into an international company, which he sold in 2007 for $400 million. He now owns a guitar company based in Oregon.  Bedell’s home is assessed at $12.4 million.
