Description

One-of-a-Kind 10-Acre Building Site Offering Stunning Views, Recreational Opportunities, and a Prime Location Near Carlisle, Iowa

Peoples Company is pleased to present this one-of-a-kind 10-acre building site, offering ideal topography, hobby farming potential, excellent hunting, and recreational opportunities. Located just south of Carlisle, Iowa, on Dubuque Street, the property sits within close proximity to the Des Moines Metro, combining rural Iowa with urban convenience.

Currently in hay production, the land offers a clean slate for your vision—whether building a home, starting a hobby farm, or enhancing the property for recreational use. Surrounding the site are sweeping views of rural Iowa, abundant wildlife, and very few neighboring homes, creating a peaceful and private setting.

The property is located within the desirable Carlisle Community School District and is only a few miles from Carlisle High School, Middle School, and Elementary School. It also benefits from nearby access to multiple large tracts of state-owned land, expanding the opportunities for outdoor enjoyment.

One of the most attractive aspects of this property is its rural feel while still being just 25 minutes from West Des Moines and only 20 minutes from Pleasant Hill, Altoona, and Ankeny. Modern conveniences are within reach, including Warren Rural Water District service, MidAmerican Energy electricity, and multiple high-speed internet providers. Existing fencing on the property offers a solid starting point for those interested in adding livestock.

With the addition of food plots, water sources, and cover, the recreational and hunting potential here could be outstanding. Excellent sanctuary habitat for whitetail deer and wild turkey borders the property to the north and west. 

This is a truly rare opportunity to build on a scenic, well-positioned piece of land close to schools, services, and recreation. A survey is currently in process, and the site will require approval from Warren County Planning and Zoning as well as the City of Carlisle. The Warren County Engineer’s Office has preliminarily approved potential driveway locations, subject to plan-to-purchase permits. 

If you're looking for a top-tier building site that checks all the boxes, you need to make the drive to see this property today. Please contact the Listing Agent for more information.
