About This Lot
Peoples Company is proud to offer this picturesque 29.03-acre m/l building site/hobby farm, consisting of two individual parcels located on 280th Avenue, just east of Highway R35 and south of St. Charles, Iowa. Ideally positioned in the northeastern portion of Madison County, the property offers peaceful country living with the convenience of being a short drive from the Des Moines Metro. Its close proximity to Interstate 35 makes commuting effortless while preserving the opportunity for a rural lifestyle-perfect for raising livestock, hunting, and more.
This property showcases stunning views of Iowa's rolling countryside, with beautiful timber, open pasture, and abundant wildlife. Whether you're envisioning a custom home or a hobby farm, the setting provides the perfect backdrop. Located within the Interstate 35 School District and just a few miles south of St. Charles, this tract exemplifies the best of rural Iowa.
The site is turnkey, with access to essential utilities including rural water, electricity, and multiple high-speed internet options, as well as two established entrances. The two individual parcels offer flexibility for a new owner-build multiple homes for family or friends, or divide and sell if desired. The gently rolling topography accommodates a variety of building site options, including walkout, daylight, and flat layouts. Multiple livestock paddocks, hardwood timber, a nice creek, and existing tillable acres currently in alfalfa production create a diverse, attractive landscape that offers both privacy and a natural buffer from neighboring properties. The owner has elected to leave a nice deer blind for the new owner as well.
Additional land is available to the east and can be purchased alongside this property. Please reference Peoples Company listing #18674 for more information.
This is a rare opportunity to own an affordable, scenic parcel in a tightly held area where mid-sized properties rarely come to market. Don't miss your chance to build the lifestyle you've been dreaming of-contact one of the listing agents today for more information.
