Properties offering this combination of location, water, timber, and a quality building site are increasingly difficult to find in Polk County. 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. Mature trees line the creek, providing natural cover and habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife common to central Iowa. The combination of timber, creek bottom, and changing elevation creates a property that offers both recreational appeal and a variety of potential uses. The building site is positio ned along the front of the property with direct access from the hard-surfaced road. The site overlooks the timber and creek bottom below, taking advantage of the property's natural elevation change and providing a setting that offers privacy while remaining easily accessible. Electricity and rural water are available at the road, providing important infrastructure for a future homesite. Buyers should independently verify utility availability, zoning, setbacks, septic requirements, and all other building considerations with the appropriate authorities prior to closing. The property's location is one of its biggest advantages. Within close proximity of Ankeny, Polk City, & DSM Metro.
