Property Description
Invest in land with a premium location. This farm is in a tightly held, very scenic area less than 10 miles from downtown Iowa City. Located on Maier Ave SW, 3 miles south of Hwy 1 (near Menards). Certified organic for 6 years—one of only two known in the Iowa City area. Productive cropland with a small timber makes for a fantastic layout. Rolling terrain above the Old Mans Creek valley with great views and multiple hilltop building sites. An ideal site exists for a future pond. Utilities are available at the road, making a future home straightforward to plan. Deer and turkey frequent the property, adding recreational appeal alongside its farming potential. Would make a perfect mixed-use farm: organic crops and gardens, livestock pasture, hunting, and a future pond fishery. Rich soils add immediate agricultural value while the landscape supports a rural lifestyle close to city convenience. Only 10 minutes to the University of Iowa, hospitals, shopping, and dining. Very close to Maier Farm and Stables, as well as Country Camp & School. Located in Webster and West High School districts. Taxes $1,350 in 2025. After harvest, the ground will be a clean canvas—ideal for a home, hardwoods, orchards, or continued organic production. Organic farms this close to Iowa City are extremely rare, making this property both a lifestyle opportunity and a strong long-term investment.
