Iowa land for sale

Over half the state of Iowa is covered in farmland. It's known for having some of the most productive agricultural land in the world. Although much of Iowa is farmland, it's not necessarily considered flat. The northeastern part of the state is characterized by rugged cliffs and pine-forested hills and is sometimes referred to as the "Switzerland of America."

Most of northern and central Iowa is relatively flat and composed of clay, gravel, and sand left by glaciers which translates into extremely fertile topsoil. Southern Iowa features the Dissected Till Plains where rivers and streams have dissected the terrain forming low, rolling hills and ridges. If you're looking for land for sale in Iowa, you'll definitely find agricultural acreage, but you can also find a fair amount of hunting land and waterfront property.
