Presenting 96.9 surveyed acres m/l in the highly coveted area of Van Meter in Madison County, Iowa. Located in Section 13 of Lee Township off Badger Creek Road, this 96.9 acre farm offers 12.54 acres m/l of tillable ground carrying a CSR2 of 64.6, with the remaining land in lush pasture and timber. The farm’s diverse landscape provides ample recreation opportunities, including two existing ponds and space and topography for a potential large pond, making it ideal for deer & turkey habitat, or waterfowl attraction. Less than 10 minutes from Van Meter and only 20 minutes from West Des Moines, this property combines rural tranquility with urban convenience. The outstanding Van Meter School District and close proximity to the Des Moines Metro enhance its appeal as a prime building site. The farm’s elevated hilltop offers stunning views of the Madison County countryside, while the surrounding timber and tree lines provide privacy from the road. There’s ample room to expand the existing pasture, create more tillable acres, hold livestock, plant a hobby farm, build a riding arena, or add a pole barn. The farm's location also makes it an excellent candidate for future development just across the street from Badger Creek State Park. A newly installed driveway allows convenient access from Badger Creek Road. Rural water and MidAmerican Energy electricity are available at the road, with additional acres potentially available.
