Located within 45 minutes of Des Moines, this diverse 80-acre farm offers an excellent combination of income potential, recreation, and rural living. The property features 55.46 FSA cropland acres carrying a CSR2 soil rating of 37.4, with the tillable ground currently planted to corn and hay. Whether you continue farming the acreage, cash rent it for annual income, or explore future CRP enrollment opportunities, this farm presents strong long-term investment potential. The balance of the property consists of a scenic timber-lined creek corridor with mature trees and open grassland that create excellent wildlife habitat. The creek serves as a major travel corridor for the area’s healthy population of whitetail deer and wild turkey, making this an attractive property for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Current buildings on the property include a 40’ x 62’ pole barn, a 24’ x 39’ open-front barn, and a 24’ x 28’ garage. Electric service is already in place to both the pole barn and garage, and rural water is available at the road, offering additional flexibility for future building or expansion plans. With a desirable mix of productive farmland, timber, wildlife habitat, and functional improvements, this property offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a recreational farm, country getaway, or income-producing investment property within convenient proximity to the Des Moines metro area.
