ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Finding a build-ready acreage in southwest Dallas County has become increasingly rare, and this is one of only three opportunities available on Bear Creek Road north Earlham. This 11.06-acre m/l building site offers the ideal combination of privacy, convenience, and modern amenities, giving you the opportunity to build the custom home you've always imagined. Bring your own builder and design everything from a contemporary farmhouse to a classic country estate, all with plenty of room for additional buildings, gardens, recreation, or hobby livestock. A feature that truly sets these acreages apart is shared access to a scenic 2.7-acre, fully stocked pond. Reserved exclusively for the owners of these three lots, the pond creates a setting that's difficult to replicate and offers fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply a peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day. Utilities are ready for your future home with rural water, electricity, and high-speed fiber optic internet available to the property, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of country living without giving up modern conveniences. Location is another major advantage. The property is just one mile from Highway 6, less than three miles from Interstate 80, and offers a quick commute to Waukee, West Des Moines, and the greater Des Moines Metro. With only one mile of gravel road, you'll spend less time driving and more time enjoying your acreage.
