Carbon, IA Farm Properties 5 acres and under for Sale

A slice of heaven overlooking Sundown Lake! This 2+ acre lake-front lot is prepped and ready for your dream home. The owner has completed all the prep work to make it easy to build including a leveled area perched up high with flagstone retaining walls and lakeside area with RV hookup, personal boat ramp and impressive floating Mac's dock system with 3 lifts and a dock-shed ready for immediate use. The owner dredged the area to increase the shoreline depth of the water and brought multiple loads of rock in as well as thousands of dollars worth of underwater professional fish management structures to promote fish spawning and diversity. You can even ice fish right from the dock-shed by taking out sections of the installed floor! Sundown Lake is a private 400-acre all sports lake, offering boating, fishing, swimming, and year-round recreation. With over two acres of land, shoreline access, and extensive dock improvements already complete, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of the last remaining sites on the lake. The Sundown Lake development was established in 2005 as a private lake community and includes over 2400 acres surrounding the lake. Excellent hunting in in the area, wildlife, rolling hills and incredible views make this area one of the prettiest areas in Iowa!
