Listing #19500 - 4.30 Acres In Johnson County, IA

Peoples Company is pleased to present a rare opportunity to create your ideal rural lifestyle on 4.3 acres along paved Highway 1 SW in Johnson County, Iowa. Conveniently located between Iowa City and Kalona, this attractive acreage offers the peace and freedom of country living while remaining within easy reach of shopping, dining, healthcare, and other metro amenities.

Imagine pulling down a tree-lined driveway to a custom-built home nestled among mature timber, where evenings are spent watching breathtaking Iowa sunsets from your back porch and mornings begin with panoramic countryside views. Multiple potential building locations tucked into the existing trees provide the opportunity to create a private setting that feels secluded while remaining just minutes from town.

The acreage offers ample room for much more than a home. Whether your vision includes a large shop, a hobby farm with livestock, horses, goats, and chickens, or simply extra space to enjoy the outdoors, this property provides the flexibility and freedom that is increasingly difficult to find near Iowa City. Families will appreciate the property's location within the Iowa City West School District, with the option to open enroll in the Mid-Prairie Community School District. Furthermore, highly sought after Weber Elementary and Northwest Junior High are just a short commute away.

This unique offering is available through Johnson County's Planning and Zoning historical split regulations. Because the existing residence was constructed prior to 2000, a buyer may have the opportunity to remove the current home and establish a new building site of up to 1.99 acres near the existing homesite. Buyers are encouraged to verify all building and zoning requirements with Johnson County Planning and Zoning. Also, with the residence still standing, a buyer has the ability to build a shop first before building their forever dwelling.

The existing 1975 ranch home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is being sold in as-is condition. The residence is in poor condition with structural concerns. The septic system is also being sold as-is, while a functioning well currently services the property.

Opportunities to acquire a manageable acreage on a hard-surfaced road in Johnson County are exceptionally rare. Build the home you've always envisioned, create the hobby farm you've dreamed about, and enjoy a lifestyle that combines rural tranquility with unmatched convenience.

**Buyers considering a building site are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence and consult with Johnson County Planning & Zoning regarding requirements and approvals.
