Property Description

Discover this stunning 40-acre property just outside Melcher-Dallas, tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Marion County. If you’ve been searching for a secluded, scenic place to build your dream home, this could be it. The farm offers a perfect building site perched above a beautiful valley, delivering expansive views that are becoming harder and harder to find in this part of Iowa.
