PROPERTY INFO

Description

Affordable farm with spots to build in beautiful Madison County! Peoples Company is pleased to present 26.76 surveyed acres north of East Peru. The farm has 24.96 FSA Cropland acres carrying an impressive CSR2 of 79.2, well above the county average of 60.8. Farm improvements were made last spring by removing terraces and cleaning up fence lines to enhance farmability. This is a rare opportunity to own tillable acres in this region at farmland values. With the proximity to Des Moines and ongoing urban sprawl, this farm is poised to appreciate significantly over the long term. The farm is currently custom operated but is open for the 2024 cropping season.

In addition to being a great farm, the property has multiple spots to build. The location is excellent being less than one-half mile off pavement and only 35 minutes to the Des Moines Metro. Warren Water District is conducting a study to estimate the cost to bring rural water to the property (contact agent for details). Electric is provided by Alliant Energy. Contact one of the listing agents for more information on this excellent opportunity!
