Description

Affordable Acreage Opportunity Just 20 Miles from West Des Moines

Peoples Company is proud to present this affordable farmhouse with various outbuildings sitting on 10-acres and located at the corner of Nixon Street and 55th 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 20 miles from the Des Moines Metro. Its close proximity to Interstate 35 makes commuting effortless while preserving the opportunity of a rural lifestyle.

This property includes a 1.5 story, 4 bed, 1 bath farmhouse and various outbuildings, offering an ideal setup for hobby farming, livestock, show animals, or a quiet rural lifestyle. The several solid outbuildings provide a large amount of storage for equipment, tools, toys, or animal shelter. The property showcases stunning views of Iowa’s rolling countryside, rich farmland, and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re looking to build equity in the existing home or tear down and start fresh, this is an outstanding opportunity to create long-term value in a highly accessible location.

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 1/4 mile east of Lake George and the St. Marys Rod & Gun Club. The property has already been surveyed and includes access to essential utilities such as Warren Rural Water, Clarke Electric Cooperative, and multiple high-speed internet options. The gently rolling topography accommodates a variety of building site options for those looking to start fresh, including walkout, daylight, and flat layouts.

This is a nice opportunity to own an affordable, scenic parcel in a tightly held area where land rarely comes to market. With gently rolling ground, open space, and strong potential, this acreage is a great fit for families, 4-H enthusiasts, homesteaders, or anyone seeking space to grow—all at a price point that’s increasingly rare in today’s market.

Don’t miss your chance to own a well-located piece of the countryside just minutes from the metro.
