5440 Lower West Branch Drive SE

Presenting this exceptional 15.5± acre property to the open market—offering a rare combination of history, character, and opportunity just minutes from the Iowa City Metro Area. At its center stands a beautifully preserved two-story farmhouse dating back to the early 1900s. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence encompasses 1,522 square feet and has been remarkably maintained for its age. With minimal updates, it could serve as a charming farmhouse acreage, provide rental income, function as a weekend retreat, or offer comfortable living while you plan and build your dream home overlooking the property’s scenic landscape. The acreage is being offered with the flexibility to create a fresh start. By utilizing the historical building site split, the buyer has the option to establish a new 2-acre building site within the 15.5-acre parcel. The remaining 13.5 acres will serve as an outlot, preserving its natural beauty while ensuring privacy and seclusion. The land itself features mature hardwood timber and nearly three-quarters of a mile of trails, ideal for recreation of all kinds. Whether you envision horseback riding, ATV or dirt bike trails, or simply enjoying the abundant wildlife—especially the whitetail deer that frequent the property year-round—this acreage delivers endless outdoor possibilities. Opportunities to secure a buildable site in Johnson County are extremely limited, making this offering exceptionally rare.
