Description

Peoples Company is proud to offer this picturesque 25.24-acre m/l building site/hobby farm, consisting of three individual parcels located on Highway R35, just 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 an established entrance off pavement. The three 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, a working area, hardwood timber, and existing tillable acres currently in alfalfa production create a diverse, attractive landscape that offers both privacy and a natural buffer from neighboring properties.

Additional land is available to the east and can be purchased alongside this property. Please reference Peoples Company listing #18675 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.
