Polk County - 7820 Southeast Vandalia Drive, Runnells, IA
This 168-Acre Equestrian Ranch & Equine Veterinary Complex is not a listing. It is a legacy.
Set on 168.3 acres of rolling eastern Polk County terrain, this is one of the most comprehensively developed private equestrian facilities ever to come to market in Iowa. With 41 horse stalls, 14 fenced pastures, a 6,700+ SF equine vet clinic, 37,000 linear feet of wood fencing, and 28 total structures across 10 combined parcels, the scale of this operation is unlike anything available in the region — and quite possibly unlike anything that has ever been listed in the state of Iowa.
Located just 12 minutes from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and 20 minutes from the Des Moines metro, the property sits at a rare intersection of rural grandeur and urban access. All roads throughout the property are asphalt — multiple sections recently repaved — and paved frontage runs on three sides.
At the heart of the equestrian operation is a 72 x 162 main stable building with 32 stalls, accompanied by additional stabling, a wash bay, and barn living quarters. The main barn complex also includes a finished kitchen and bathroom area, a separate finished office, open porches, a hay barn, a lean-to, multiple pole barns, and a utility building — all connected by asphalt roads and surrounded by 14 fully fenced pastures, each equipped with its own automatic waterer and dedicated loafing shed. The 4,300 SF electric exerciser and training arena rounds out the working operation, offering a top-tier training environment without leaving the property.
The historic farmhouse at 7820 SE Vandalia Drive has stood on this land since 1918. With 1,128 square feet of living area across the main level and a finished attic, plus a full basement, enclosed porch, and an expansive 662 square foot deck, it is a genuine piece of Iowa history. Currently occupied by a month-to-month tenant, the home provides immediate cash flow while the new owner establishes operations.
Then there is the 6,700 SF equine vet clinic at 3350 SE 82nd Street — zoned Medical, extensively remodeled approximately 5 to 6 years ago, and essentially untouched since. It is, for all practical purposes, brand new. The clinic features an operating room, a recovery room, a dedicated pharmacy build-out, a kitchen, two bathrooms, in-floor radiant heat, two boiler systems, dual crane lifts capable of handling heavy equipment, 4-foot wide doorways for large animal access, X-ray lighting built directly into the walls, a microbial coating on the clinic floors, an integrated fly system, and an installed pressure washer. Eight interior stalls sit inside the clinic itself, and a 60 x 120 covered arena sits directly adjacent on a neighboring parcel — a facility that could function in full conjunction with the clinic for the right buyer. The clinic could also convert to a barndominium with county approval.
The property is further defined by infrastructure that a serious buyer will appreciate. Des Moines city water serves the site. A spring creek runs nearly year-round through 10 to 12 acres of oak timber. Two bridges connect access throughout the property. Five electric meters — including a transformer serving the one-of-a-kind caboose cabin, a converted original train caboose built into an 836 square foot entertainment and party space with a 796 square foot deck — power the full operation.
This is a property that creates its own buyer. Whether that is a racing or breeding operation drawn to Prairie Meadows, a veterinary practice ready to step into a turnkey facility, an equine pharmaceutical or stem-cell company seeking an integrated research and treatment environment, a developer eyeing the frontage on SE Vandalia Drive and SE 82nd Street, an event or retreat venue operator, or a cash flow investor —this ranch has something no other property in Iowa can offer.

Polk County - TBD NW 158th Ave, Madrid, IA
Properties offering this combination of location, water, timber, and a quality building site are increasingly difficult to find in Polk County. Located just north of Big Creek State Park, this 68.23-acre property offers a unique opportunity to own recreational acreage with a road-front building site and convenient access to the Des Moines metro. Big Creek runs directly through the property, creating a defined creek corridor through the timber and adding significant character to the tract. Mature trees line the creek, providing natural cover and habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife common to central Iowa. The combination of timber, creek bottom, and changing elevation creates a property that offers both recreational appeal and a variety of potential uses. The building site is positioned along the front of the property with direct access from the hard-surfaced road. The site overlooks the timber and creek bottom below, taking advantage of the property's natural elevation change and providing a setting that offers privacy while remaining easily accessible. Electricity and rural water are available at the road, providing important infrastructure for a future homesite. Buyers should independently verify utility availability, zoning, setbacks, septic requirements, and all other building considerations with the appropriate authorities prior to closing. Beyond the building site, the property offers excellent recreational opportunities. Big Creek and the surrounding timber provide natural travel corridors and habitat for wildlife, while the property's proximity to Big Creek State Park and Saylorville Lake provides additional access to outdoor recreation in the area. Boating, fishing, hiking, beaches, and other recreational amenities are all located nearby. The property's location is one of its biggest advantages. Polk City is approximately 12 minutes away, Ankeny is approximately 20 minutes away, and West Des Moines and downtown Des Moines are approximately 30 minutes away. This allows the next owner to enjoy the privacy and character of a rural property while remaining within a convenient drive of the Des Moines metro's employment, shopping, dining, schools, and other amenities. For those looking for recreational ground, the combination of mature timber and Big Creek provides a strong foundation for hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, and other outdoor activities. For those looking for a homesite, the road frontage, available utilities, elevation, and views across the timber and creek corridor create an attractive setting for a future residence. The acreage and soils should also be reviewed by interested buyers to determine whether portions of the property may be suitable for additional agricultural, habitat, or conservation uses. It is rare to find a tract of this size in Polk County that combines a prominent creek, mature timber, recreational opportunities, and a quality building site while remaining so close to the Des Moines metro. The property's location just north of Big Creek State Park adds to its recreational appeal, while the road access and available utilities provide practical advantages for future development. This 68.23-acre Polk County property offers an opportunity to build, recreate, and enjoy the outdoors in a location that keeps the conveniences of the metro within easy reach. Interested buyers are encouraged to schedule a private showing to tour the property and experience the creek, timber, elevation, and building site firsthand.

Peoples Company is pleased to present 76.55 acres m/l of premier development land strategically located on the northwest side of Ankeny, one of the Midwest's fastest-growing communities. Positioned directly within the path of continued residential and commercial expansion, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity for developers and investors to acquire a large, contiguous tract in one of the Des Moines metropolitan area's most active growth corridors. Situated at the intersection of NW 36th Street and NW Irvinedale Drive, the property's frontage provides excellent visibility, convenient access, and strong connectivity to Ankeny's expanding transportation network, making it well suited for both residential neighborhoods and complementary commercial development. The property has been annexed into the City of Ankeny, providing a clear path toward future development. According to the City of Ankeny's Future Land Use Map, the site is planned for a mix of residential and commercial uses. Existing infrastructure further enhances the property's development potential. City water is available along both the southern and eastern boundaries, while sanitary sewer is located immediately south of the property, allowing developers to capitalize on nearby utility access. Established and expanding residential neighborhoods surround the property to the south and east, and Rock Creek Elementary School is located less than one-half mile east along NW 36th Street, reinforcing the area's appeal for future residential growth. As Ankeny continues to experience population growth and strong demand for new housing, commercial services, and community amenities, this property is ideally positioned to support the city's continued growth. Opportunities to acquire development tracts of this size, location, and readiness are increasingly limited, making this an exceptional investment in one of Central Iowa's fastest growing cities.
