Description

Prime Rural Residential Developmental Land Offering | Just south of Winterset, Iowa

Peoples Company is proud to represent the Utsler Family Trust in the sale of an exceptional 96.11-acre m/l property located just 3 miles south of Winterset, Iowa, with paved access from Clark Tower Road. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a tract of land already zoned Rural Residential—an increasingly difficult designation to secure under Madison County’s current land use policies. The existing zoning provides a valuable head start for future development in one of central Iowa’s most desirable rural growth corridors. 

The property features a completed conceptual plat outlining nine rural residential lots, ranging from 3.35 to 5.56 acres, and has already been split into individual tax parcels—allowing a developer or investor to hit the ground running. Whether your goal is to launch a full-scale rural development, hold the land as a phased project, or blend income-producing ag with future upside, this farm offers unmatched flexibility and return potential. 

Located just minutes from Winterset’s amenities and within 40 minutes of the Des Moines metro, this site is ideally situated for today's growing demand for rural estates, hobby farms, and country retreats—especially among buyers seeking acreage with privacy, hard-surface access, and proximity to metro job centers. 

With Warren Water District and Farmers Electric Cooperative utilities available at the road, much of the development infrastructure is already within reach. The gently rolling terrain, scenic Madison County views, and a stocked pond provide the lifestyle appeal that today’s acreage buyers are actively seeking. 

This farm has an estimated 31.49 FSA cropland acres with a CSR2 of 53.1, and much of the acres are currently being utilized for pasture grazing and recreational purposes.

Additional Land Available
An additional 67.71 acres m/l are available. For more information, please refer to Listing #18489 and Listing #18490 or contact the listing agents directly.
