Located just north of Big Creek State Park, this 68.23-acre property offers a unique opportunity to own recreational acreage with a road-front building site and convenient access to the Des Moines metro.Big Creek runs directly through the property, creating a defined creek corridor through the timber and adding significant character to the tract.
