Most acreage in central Iowa comes with at least one catch. Gravel road. No water in reach. Electric not at the lot. A build site that won't let you do what you actually want.

These nine don't have those catches and that's why I'm so excited about them.

Sturgeon Property Plat 1 is on the market in Boone County north of Woodward. Nine executive acreages from 8.20 to 12.60 acres. Prices from $219,900 to $274,900.

Here's what makes these different from typical rural land I've shown buyers.

Pavement on 325th Street. No dust, no ruts, year round access.
Xenia Rural Water access available along the north side of the road. Alliant Energy right at the lots on the south side. No long utility extension to make. Each lot offers flat or daylight build flexibility. You design the home that fits the way you want to live.
Mature timber. Open farmland. Long views in every direction.

If you've been waiting for land that doesn't make you compromise to live on it, this is your chance.

Message us or call Kalen at 515.402.3169.
