Opportunities like this don’t come along often! This secluded 24.6-acre property sits in a prime location just off Hwy 169 and Hwy 44 — only 4.5 miles north of Adel and just outside Dallas Center city limits. The setting is private and peaceful, yet incredibly convenient.
A private lane leads you back to the entrance, where electricity and a well are already in place. The property previously had a home, which has been demolished and will be removed prior to closing — giving you a clean slate to build your dream home. The east side of the property offers ample high-ground building sites, all well out of the flood plain with beautiful bluff-top views.
Beyond being an exceptional building site, this land is loaded with mature hardwoods and offers endless recreational opportunities. Whether you’re into hunting, hiking, ATV riding, or creating your own trail system, you’ll have space to make it happen. The property also borders the Raccoon River, with a public boat launch just upstream which is perfect for float trips with family and friends right to your own riverfront. The land is uniquely split: ~20 acres on the east side of the river and just under 5 acres on the west side, giving you the feel of owning two properties in one.
Don’t miss this rare chance to own a private slice of Dallas County with unmatched versatility — building, recreation, and river frontage all in one package!
