Set within the rolling countryside of Van Meter Township, this spacious 2,757 finished square foot 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom ranch home on 6.03 acres offers both comfort and functionality in a prime Dallas County location. Built in 1980, the home has been cared for with exceptional attention, and its condition today reflects decades of maintenance and pride of ownership. Positioned just off R Avenue, the property balances privacy with quick access to Adel, Waukee, and West Des Moines.

The setting is immediately impressive. A private drive leads to the home, where mature timber frames the acreage and creates a natural sense of space. Outdoor living is a highlight here, with multiple patios and gathering areas designed for hosting, relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Whether grilling with friends, spending evenings around a fire or simply watching wildlife, the outdoor space is every bit as important as the interior.

The ranch-style layout offers a practical and open floor plan. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide generous living accommodations, with large windows throughout the main level bringing in natural light and views of the acreage. The kitchen and dining areas are warm, functional spaces with plenty of room for everyday living, while the finished lower level extends the home’s flexibility with additional space for recreation, hobbies, or multi-generational living.

A 28' x 30' steel utility building adds tremendous value, offering storage for equipment, vehicles or workshop needs. Combined with nearly six acres, this property has the capacity to support gardens, small livestock, or outdoor projects, all within a quiet timbered setting.

Location is a major strength. The home is within minutes of Adel, Waukee, and West Des Moines - areas continuing to see rapid growth in commerce, dining and employment opportunities. Families will value the connection to the ADM Community School District, recognized for both academic and extracurricular excellence. The property offers the lifestyle benefits of country acreage while keeping you within easy reach of metro conveniences.

This acreage is a rare opportunity in one of the most desirable areas of Central Iowa. With its combination of space, condition and location, the property is well-suited for families, hobbyists or anyone looking for the advantages of country living paired with access to thriving nearby communities.
