Property Description

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of West Des Moines history. Never before offered on the market, this remarkable property encompasses over 27 acres of protected natural beauty, backing to the Raccoon River and preserved by a conservation easement. A true private sanctuary, the property offers abundant wildlife, scenic river views, and peaceful walking trails in an incredibly special setting. Built in 1967 and recognized as Architectural Home of the Year, the existing residence presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a significant piece of architectural history—or create something entirely your own. A designated one-acre building envelope provides the opportunity to build your dream home surrounded by nature, privacy, and breathtaking views. The land cannot be subdivided or developed beyond the rights permitted by the conservation easement, making this a truly unique offering for those who value preservation, architecture, and an extraordinary connection to the outdoors. Opportunities like this simply do not come along twice. A remarkable legacy property in the heart of West Des Moines.
