About This Lot

79.58 acres, m/l, located approximately 4 miles northeast of Springville, Iowa on the north side of County Home Rd.

This gently rolling farm has 67.69 FSA/Eff. crop acres with a CSR2 of 79.90. There are also 0.85 acres enrolled in a CP-22 (tree planting program) CRP contract that pays $231.00 annually and expires on 9/30/37. This CRP land was planted with many nice oak, walnut, and cherry trees in 2007.

Built in 2006 on a concrete slab foundation, there is a 20 x 24 cabin that offers a rugged, off-grid retreat. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the cabin features a wood stove, propane furnace, solar-powered electricity, water-storage system, and a chemical toilet. The interior includes custom maple cabinetry, wood paneling, wooden Pella windows, and a vaulted ceiling in the great room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The solar-electric system powers security and yard lights, interior lighting, a microwave, TV, and small appliances. Cement-board siding provides durable exterior protection, and a 120-gallon propane tank is included with the property.


There is an attractive 18' x 30' bank barn that was built in 2011 and offers versatile, two-level functionality with drive-in access to both floors. The lower level is ideal for storing equipment such as a skid loader or tractor, while the upper level easily accommodates a side-by-side or lawn tractor. Whether used for storage, livestock, or hobby projects, this well-designed structure provides flexible space to suit a variety of needs.

This property has it all: productive cropland, timber, a pond and a creek. The existing cabin and barn are perfect for a private weekend retreat, just a 15-20 minute drive from the Cedar Rapids/Marion metro area. This farm provides income as well as recreational opportunities, hunting sites, and attractive potential building sites. According to Linn County guidelines, the property may be divided into as many as three buildable lots.
