Ask Mark Gannon
This tract is an ideal small farm located close to Ames and in the Ames School District. There is a high building site area in the NE corner overlooking the pond and land to the south. The pond was built in 2018 as part of the flyover overpass for I-35. The pond is approximately 9.5 acres from the tops of the berms and approximately six acres of water normally. The pond has a sand bottom and the water level will fluctuate as the aquifer adjusts from time to time. The pond and NE corner are out of the 100 year floodplain but the farmland is mostly in the 100 year floodplain. The property is approved for a residence by the Story Co. Planning and Zoning and the floodplain has been surveyed so the NE area is not subject to flood insurance requirements. There are three grain bins and an open front shed on the east side of the property. The property has been surveyed. Some of the property is fenced with a new fence on the north. The Iowa DOT is responsible for the west fence. The farm lease is canceled for 2024 possession. There is full possession at closing on the pond and NE non tillable area. The land could be easily irrigated from the pond or a shallow well. This land would be ideal for pasture, trees and truck farming crops.
