If you are looking for a building location and good hunting all within commuting distance of Des Moines, this might be it. This gorgeous 40 acre tract is located on paved County Highway R45, only 30 minutes South of West Des Moines, Iowa. The rolling hardwood covered hills on the SE corner of the farm give way moving to the North and West to thick cedar whitetail bedding habitat and river bottom ground. The pine tree plantings add to the diversity of the unique property. It is truly impossible to get a full appreciation of the farm character without seeing it.
Utilities have already been brought onto the property, which is a significant cost savings to the new owner, and a driveway coming in off of the Stone St leads to a perfect spot for a future cabin or home. Currently, a vacant mobile home sits here, but is not in livable condition.

For the hunting minded buyer, only a very small fraction of the deer sign is shown here. From the maps, you can see that this property sits adjacent to South River, which is fed from the Des Moines River. This river system connects the farm, surrounding Ag fields, and CRP to other large blocks of timber to the SW and NE. Based on the deer sign, and number of deer I have seen on the farm, I expect there are many deer that call this property home. The thick timber ridges, south facing slopes, available water and adjacent food provide everything necessary to hold deer and make for great hunting right out the back door.
