Rural Residential
A full acre — 1.043 acres, or 45,433 square feet, in a 150' × 303.2' parcel zoned rural residential (RR). That footprint changes what a property can do: room for a garden, outbuildings, or simply open ground to spread out on — space that doesn't exist on a subdivision lot. The setting matches the lot: Jester Park, with its golf course and equestrian center, is two miles up the road, and Saylorville Lake — 26,000 acres of water and the 24-mile Neal Smith Trail — is three miles away. The parcel sits in unincorporated Polk County and is served by rural water, not a private well.

About This Property
Built in 2000, this ranch puts 1,598 square feet on the main level and adds a 1,280-square-foot finished walkout basement below — six bedrooms and three bathrooms in all, split evenly with three bedrooms on the main floor and three on the lower level. Family rooms on both levels, a wood-burning fireplace, and main-floor laundry round out the layout. The major systems are recent: a new HVAC system with a whole-house dehumidifier was installed in 2024, the kitchen received new appliances in 2025, and an active radon mitigation system has been in place since 2022. Heating is gas forced air with central air conditioning, and the home is on rural water service — no private well. Outside, a two-car attached garage sits at the end of a concrete driveway. The property carries a Granger mailing address but sits in unincorporated Polk County and is served by the Johnston Community School District.
From the Owner
We bought this place for the acre and the Johnston schools — that combination is rare this close to the metro, and it's still the reason we'd buy it again. Over the years we put real money into the systems that matter: a new HVAC system with a whole-house dehumidifier in 2024, a radon mitigation system in 2022, and new kitchen appliances in 2025. It's time for us to move on to what's next, and we're selling it ourselves because we know this house and this land better than anyone we'd hire to represent it. If you're looking at the acre, the schools, or anything about the house itself, reach out directly — we're the ones who can actually answer.

View documentFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying this property directly from the owner.
Will you consider offers with financing, or does this need to be a cash sale?
We welcome offers with a mortgage pre-approval as well as cash offers. Include your pre-approval letter or proof of funds with any offer so we can move on it quickly.
How do showings work for a for-sale-by-owner property?
Call or text to set up a time — we're flexible on evenings and weekends and can usually accommodate short notice. We walk the property with you so you can ask questions about the house and the land directly.
What earnest money do you expect?
We expect a standard earnest money deposit as part of a written offer, held per a standard Iowa purchase agreement. Exact terms are negotiable and can be discussed once you're ready to make an offer.
What's a realistic closing timeline?
We can work with a standard 30–45 day closing, and we're open to a different timeline if your financing or move needs require it. Let us know what you need and we'll tell you what's realistic on our end.
Why are you selling by owner instead of listing with an agent?
We know this property better than an agent would, and selling it directly lets us put that knowledge in front of buyers without an extra layer between us. We're happy to work with buyers directly or with their own agent — reach out either way.
Is buyer's-agent commission negotiable?
We're open to discussing buyer's-agent compensation on a per-offer basis — reach out before you write an offer so we're aligned on terms.
