Located just northwest of the town of Newton, this exceptional combination farm offers income, recreation, hunting and an ideal home-building site. The 60/40 ratio of income-producing cropland to recreational land is highly sought after among savvy land buyers. The gently rolling tillable acres, with their above-country average CSR2 ratings, will continue to produce high-yielding crops year after year and provide a nice return.If you're conservation-minded, this property would be eligible for a CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) contract after 12 months of ownership. This program pays landowners to take their tillable acres out of production to mitigate erosion and soil loss, bank production acres for the future and establish native grass habitat that benefits the wildlife on the property.The smaller field sizes with rolling terrain that are separated by timbered draws make for a very picturesque rural setting. There are multiple locations to build on this property, but in my opinion, there is one ideal location that offers privacy, great views of the farm and creek bottom, but also isn't so far off the road that makes the cost of construction unreasonable.This farm is located less than 6 miles from town and on only 2 miles of county-maintained gravel roads! The conveniences of shopping, dining, schools and I-80 access are only minutes away. Jump on the Interstate and you can be to West Des Moines' Jordan Creek Town Center in less than 45 minutes.To find out more about this property or to schedule a private showing, call the Listing Agent and Land Specialist, Garret Armstrong, at (641) 757-9156.
