About this home

The value is mostly in the ground, but this large 2 story home is a great added value as well! Develop the remaining portion of the 40 acres using the house for an office or home. With a little updating, this would be a stunning property to call your own! Take a look at the photos! The ground has a newer sewer line run through the center, and is one of the few development pieces on the West side of Des Moines.
