Located on the southeast edge of the Des Moines metro, this 87.45± deeded acre Polk County farm offers a strong combination of highly productive farmland, recreational opportunity, and income potential. Situated in Allen Township along the Des Moines River, the property provides an opportunity to acquire a quality agricultural asset in a location where land of this caliber is increasingly difficult to find. The farm includes approximately 74± FSA tillable acres with an impressive average CSR2 rating of 86, providing highly productive soils and a strong foundation for annual agricultural income. Hard-surface road access and convenient proximity to the Des Moines metro and area grain markets add to the property's long-term agricultural and investment appeal. Beyond the tillable acres, the property benefits from Des Moines River frontage and the recreational opportunities associated with the river corridor. The combination of river habitat, timber, and water resources creates opportunities for waterfowl and deer hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreation. The recreational component may also provide potential for additional annual income through a hunting lease. With multiple potential income streams, highly productive soils, river frontage, and a strategic location near the Des Moines metro, this property offers a unique combination of agricultural and recreational value. It presents an attractive opportunity for land investors, agricultural operators, and buyers seeking a quality income-producing Iowa land asset with long-term potential. Property taxes are approximately $3,136 annually. The farm is located at the end of East Watrous Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. Showings are available by appointment to pre-qualified buyers.
