Peoples Company is pleased to present this exceptional 15.5 m/l acre property to the open market-offering a rare combination of history, character, and opportunity just minutes from the Iowa City Metro Area. At its center stands a beautifully preserved two-story farmhouse dating back to the early 1900s. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence encompasses 1,522 square feet and has been remarkably maintained for its age. With minimal updates, it could serve as a charming farmhouse acreage, provide rental income, function as a weekend retreat, or offer comfortable living while you plan and build your dream home overlooking the property's scenic landscape.

The acreage is being offered with the flexibility to create a fresh start. By utilizing the historical building site split, the buyer has the option to establish a new 2-acre building site within the 15.5-acre parcel. The remaining 13.5 acres will serve as an outlot, preserving its natural beauty while ensuring privacy and seclusion.

The land itself features mature hardwood timber and nearly three-quarters of a mile of trails, ideal for recreation of all kinds. Whether you envision horseback riding, ATV or dirt bike trails, or simply enjoying the abundant wildlife-especially the whitetail deer that frequent the property year-round-this acreage delivers endless outdoor possibilities.

Opportunities to secure a buildable site in Johnson County are extremely limited, making this offering exceptionally rare. Don't miss your chance-call today to schedule a private showing.

Acres are subject to final survey.
