Property Description
If you have been looking for a serious equestrian property in Iowa - one that is built for horses, not just designed to look like it is - this is it. Set on 37.93 acres of rolling eastern Polk County terrain just 20 minutes from Des Moines and 12 minutes from Prairie Meadows Racetrack, this property is the working heart of what was once one of Iowa's largest private equestrian facilities. The centerpiece is a 72 x 162 main stable - 11,664 SF - with 33 stalls, a wash bay, and barn living quarters. Accompanying it is additional stabling, a hay barn, a finished office, a finished kitchen and bath area, open porches, a lean-to, multiple pole barns, and a utility building. All roads on the property are asphalt. A 4,300 SF electric exerciser and training arena rounds out the operation. The 1918 farmhouse offers 1,128 SF of living area, 3 bed/1.5 bath, a finished attic, full basement, enclosed porch, and a 662 SF deck. Currently tenant-occupied on a month-to-month basis. Additional adjacent listings available for separate or combined purchase: 127+ acres of land (MLS# 71369) and 6,600 SF equine vet clinic zoned Commercial/Medical (MLS# 71368).
