Land with Home for Sale in Elkhart, Iowa
13400 NE 56th St, Elkhart, IA 50073
Almost 40 acres with one-owner occupant potential. Polk County rules cap this parcel permanently, making it a true legacy property and one of few chances to own this much contiguous, private acreage 10 minutes from Ankeny IA on hard surface road. It's a sanctuary built for the moment you drop your work bag at the door. There are 3 driveways. Land is alfalfa ground, rolling Oak/Hickory timber, a creek, pond, and groomed trails. All this without losing Des Moines Metro access. The 5 year old custom home was built to executive standard: walnut cabinetry, an LG Signature Suite kitchen with 2 dishwashers, 48''range combining gas, induction and sous vide, and steam self-cleaning ovens. Systems match the finishes - a 3- zone gas furnace plus mini splits, whole house Generac backup, Kinetico water treatment with reverse osmosis to the kitchen, bar, and refrigerators, and Starlink internet. A 3-season porch anchors outdoor living and faces the sunsets. Outbuildings include a 30x40 insulated shop and 32x56 pole barn. Owners call it ''peaceful beauty'' and it's quiet enough to host 15-20 species of birds and lots of wildlife. An ADU is permitted. Proof of funds is required before showings are confirmed. All information obtained from seller and public records.
