Marion County, IA | 103± Acre Hunting & Recreational Farm This 103.87-acre Marion County farm along Highway 14 offers a proven whitetail setup with the habitat and history to back it up. Accessible from Des Moines in under an hour, the property features 44.78 acres of mature Forest Reserve timber, 33.3 acres of CRP generating approximately $5,095 annually with the contract in place through 2030, and 12.6 acres of row crop tillable ground where the current tenant leaves standing crop through hunting season to hold deer on the property. The habitat is well developed with established food plots, a north-south running creek creating a primary travel corridor, a second creek running from the southwest corner to the northeast as an additional funnel, and a pond on the southwest corner providing year-round water. Trail camera history documents consistent mature whitetail activity on the property. The seclusion of this farm is a key factor in why mature deer use it as a safe haven year after year. Access is provided via a 30-foot easement. Zoned A-1 Agricultural.

Over 3,500 SF of finished living space on two levels, priced well below comparable square footage in Grimes. This custom-built two-story combines rare flexibility with true quality construction, a short walk to the new library, Northridge Elementary, and North Sports Complex. Set on a large corner lot, the craftsmanship is evident the moment you step inside. The main floor offers a showstopper custom kitchen with rich solid wood dovetail cabinetry, double ovens, and a huge walk-in pantry, plus a large home office with two storage closets. An oversized drop zone and laundry room catch everything as it comes in the door. Upstairs, a loft ideal for work or relaxing anchors a layout with a spacious primary suite, three additional bedrooms, and a versatile bonus room that works as a fifth bedroom, home gym, classroom, media room, craft studio, or guest space. The massive 1,000+ SF unfinished basement with heated floors is ready to become whatever you need next. 2x6 framing with extra insulation, dual-zone heating and cooling, and a tankless water heater round out the mechanical highlights. Outside, enjoy a large saltwater hot tub with a locking automatic cover and a huge 1,000+ SF composite deck perfect for entertaining. The nearly 1,000 SF three-car tandem garage with heater, utility sink, and extra storage gives you rare room to spread out.
