This 9.37-acre parcel sits directly across from Echo Valley golf course, one of the most desirable residential settings on the south side of the metro. It's zoned N2a, so it can serve as a private executive estate or become a high-end residential development. Either way, the property offers open space, and quick access to the Des Moines metro. Executive Acreage A buyer could build a custom estate home on the full 9.37 acres. The setting offers privacy, room for a large home, a shop or outbuildings, with Echo Valley across the road. Acreage this close to the city and to an established golf course rarely comes on the market. Residential Development N2a zoning allows large single-household lots, which gives a developer real flexibility. The parcel could be split into a few premium acreage homesites or platted as a larger-lot subdivision with golf course views. Either plan targets buyers who want space, a quality setting, and a short commute. Property Highlights 9.37 acres Directly across from Echo Valley golf course Zoned N2a (City of Des Moines): large-lot single-household residential Suited to an executive estate, acreage lots, or a larger-lot subdivision Utilities at the road Norwalk School District Contact Jason at Ring Commercial Advisors for maps, or to walk the property.
