Description

Peoples Company is proud to represent the Bonibel Wilson Revocable Trust in the sale of 59.06 acres m/l, to be offered in two individual tracts. Situated just southeast of Altoona in Polk County, Iowa, these tracts present a strong investment opportunity for a variety of buyers. The property offers a wide range of potential uses, including expansive rural homesites, transitional development opportunities, productive tillable farmland, and recreational appeal.

Tract 2 includes 32.05 acres m/l of farmland and a charming farmhouse with several well-maintained outbuildings, located on the south side of NE 27th Avenue, just east of the meandering Mud Creek. In addition, the land offers future residential development potential as the City of Altoona continues to expand southeast toward the subject property. The dwelling consists of a ranch-style home built in 1948, featuring 1,116 finished square feet, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a one-car attached garage. The property also supports strong recreational opportunities, with a healthy population of whitetail deer and turkey. This rare combination of productive farmland, scenic landscape, and wildlife habitat creates an attractive setting for those seeking both investment potential and outdoor enjoyment, all within close proximity to the Des Moines metropolitan area.

The property includes 24.17 FSA cropland acres currently in row crop production, with a CSR2 rating of 78.2. The predominant soil types are Clarion and Coland loams, well-known for their productivity across Central Iowa. The farm features established waterways and may include drainage tile, supporting long-term agricultural viability. Multiple grain marketing options are conveniently located nearby, including Landus Cooperative, Heartland Cooperative, and the ADM processing plant, providing strong market access for producers.

Currently zoned Agriculture Transition District, the property allows for continued row crop production while offering future development potential in accordance with Polk County and Altoona planning and zoning ordinances. Utility services are available through Des Moines Water Works and MidAmerican Energy. A 4-inch PVC water main from Des Moines Water Works runs along NE 27th Avenue on the north boundary of the property. The Mud Creek Sewer Lift Station is located just northwest of the property across the road.

This is a prime opportunity to own a high-quality yet affordable piece of land in a premier area of Polk County, Iowa, near Altoona. Whether you're an investor, farmer, or developer, this property offers versatility, long-term value, and immediate enjoyment.
