This could be the dream property you’ve been waiting for in Madison County, Iowa!

This 30-ac m/l is in a highly desirable area of Madison County, just over the Dallas County Line and Southwest of Van Meter.  With an ideal building location, easy driving distance to down-town, no covenants or restrictions, and incredibly high-quality soils, this property has a lot to offer.  The rolling hills here create some of the most picturesque locations in the area, and this property is no exception.  It’s one you must see to appreciate.  

A long ridge runs through this farm, creating ample space to build a large Morton building, shop/home (shouse or barn-dominium), or custom executive style home.  The highpoint offers views in nearly all directions, and mind wonders with the possibilities of what it could turn into.  Imagine waking up each day to the sight of gentle rolling hills and vibrant green fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

At only 20 minutes from Jordan Creek Town Center, you’ll feel miles from anything while in reality the land is just a short drive from modern conveniences.  Perhaps one of the most difficult things to find; this property has no restrictive covenants, so you’ll be free to raise 4H calves, build a horse arena, plant a garden, or just about anything you’d want in order to live your country lifestyle.  Currently, the property generates a stable income for the owner from cash rent on the 27 acres of Row Crop.  For 2023, the farm is planted to soybeans, and it is easy to see from the healthy crop that this property has high quality soils. 

The average soil quality on this parcel of land is 81 CSR2 across the planted acres, compared to the average for Madison County of 59 CSR2.  Soil quality isn’t something that can be (easily) altered, so properties with high quality soils such as this are always in demand.  If you’re looking for a stable investment or the option to add onto a new or existing farm operation, this is a beautiful piece of land that would make an exception candidate.  Two waterways have been strategically installed to prevent erosion with oversight from the NRCS, and the current tenants have done an exceptional job maintaining the property.

For the nature enthusiast, this property is also situated just 2 miles from Badger Creek Conservation area, which offers over 700 acres of recreational land and a 246-acre lake, just minutes away! 

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Madison County land. Whether you’re a farmer, investor, or seeking the perfect setting for your future home, this property has it all.  But, don’t take our word for it.  Call Land Broker Chuck Johnson to schedule your own private tour at (515) 993-7979.
