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.
 
Set well off the beaten path, the property offers an exceptional sense of quiet and privacy—a true escape from the noise of town or city life. Rolling hills, wide-open skies, and the soft sounds of nature create an ideal backdrop for a forever home or a weekend retreat. With utilities nearby, the property is ready for the next step, whether that's building immediately or holding as an investment.
 
In addition to its residential potential, the land is also a top-tier recreational farm, located in an area well known for producing trophy-class whitetails. Nearly $5,000 in annual CRP income comes from thick native cover that supports wildlife and adds character to the land. Multiple food plots and access from two sides allow for smart, low-impact hunting strategies.
 
Just 45 minutes from Des Moines and 30 minutes from Indianola, this is a place where seclusion, scenery, and convenience converge. Whether you're looking to build, hunt, or simply escape, this property offers the kind of peace and potential that’s increasingly rare.
