Farm Street, Lot#WP003, Colfax, IA 50054 - Jasper County

Here is a rare chance to own a very special farm along the famed Skunk River Valley, less than a half-hour from downtown Des Moines. If you’ve been waiting for a place that offers character, views, recreation, and income; one that you could build your dream home on, this may just be The One. Upland ridges hold magnificent oaks and towering pines. The clear hillside pond could provide secluded fishing and swimming. There are several stellar building sites to choose from depending on how secluded you want to be, and what view you want to have. A mature stand of bottomland timber holds huge soft maples, cottonwoods, and swamp oaks. The thriving deer, pheasant, and turkey population is undeniable from this farm’s premium habitat. The Skunk is one of the most well-known river corridors in Iowa for monarch whitetails, and this one lays out great to hunt any wind direction. Wild edibles including mushrooms, berries, and ginseng can be found in the area as well. Approximately 38 acres are enrolled in the income-generating Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Contact Iowa Land Specialist Ben Harshyne at 319-853-1162 to schedule a private showing of this diverse farm. Showings by appointment only.
