What a gift...A quiet retreat just minutes from downtown Iowa City and yet on the edge of town, this unique offering includes three distinct neighboring parcels being sold together—over 9 acres total—full of potential and natural beauty. The 1st parcel,1.63 acres, features a charming old farmhouse, most recently used as an art studio. Full of character & ready for renovation, w/the right vision, its potential is seemingly limitless. The 2nd parcel is a 6.27 expansive outlot w/a pastoral past filled w/animals & small scale farming. W/the right vision, it could be transformed again into a hobby farm, garden haven, artist's workshop, or a space for animals to roam. It’s a blank canvas w/just enough history to inspire what comes next. The 3rd parcel, 1.4 acres, is a buildable residential lot. It's an ideal setting for someone to build their dream home on a wooded lot; private, beautiful & truly serene. Whether you're dreaming of a multi-home homestead, a peaceful woodland escape, or an investment opportunity, this versatile property is a rare find. Located on the peaceful outskirts of Iowa City, yet convenient to the amenities of town, this is your chance to create something genuinely special, unique & as you truly wish. Buildings convey AS IS, less personal property. Buyer to verify buildability & zoning options w/ city/county.
