Property Info

Description

Peoples Company is proud to present this 25-acre m/l building site and hobby farm located on dead-end, 60th Avenue, just southeast of St. Marys, Iowa. Ideally positioned in rural Warren County, the property offers peaceful country living with the convenience of being less than 30 minutes from the Des Moines Metro. Its close proximity to Interstate 35 makes commuting effortless while preserving the opportunity for a rural lifestyle.

This property showcases stunning views of Iowa’s rolling countryside, native grass habitat, rich farmland, 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 Community School District and just two miles from St. Marys, this tract combines rural Iowa with everyday convenience. The property is located only 1/2 mile east of Lake George and the St. Marys Rod & Gun Club.

The site is turnkey and includes access to essential utilities such as Warren Rural Water (needs extended from the north), Clarke Electric Cooperative, and multiple high-speed internet options. The gently rolling topography accommodates a variety of building site options, including walkout, daylight, and flat layouts. The entirety of the property is currently enrolled in CRP program CP42 paying $229.65/acre or $5,741.25 annually through 2026, creating a diverse and attractive landscape while offering privacy and a natural buffer from neighboring properties. With the CRP expiring at the end of 2026, a new owner would be able to place a structure on the property in the first year of ownership, look to re-enroll into a new CRP program, or convert the property to row crops or hay. 

This is a rare opportunity to own an affordable, scenic parcel in a tightly held area where land rarely comes 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.
