STOP for a minute and read this listing. 40 timbered acres setting in a beautiful location in Southeast Polk. 2 miles south of the high school on a hard surface road. This mini farm possesses a 3 bedroom ranch that is well maintained (has a woodburner fireplace) and a couple sets of agriculture bldgs. This former tree farm is in the forest reserve program which greatly reduces the property taxes and enhances the beauty of the property. Numerous trees of various size remain and acres of room to re-establish the density of growth. This property has a variety of possible uses and is one of a kind in this eastern side of Des Moines. Take a look at opportunity now while it lasts.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

Agricultural Transition District
The Agricultural Transition area is intended to avoid premature subdivision of areas contiguous to growing cities. The ultimate development of the area involves extension of urban services and likely annexation. It is anticipated that most Agricultural Transition areas will not be annexed and developed at urban densities during the time frame of this plan. However, many of these areas will be served with sanitary sewer within this time frame, and the Agricultural Transition district is needed to prevent leapfrog development and premature annexation.
