Situated in Allen Township along the Des Moines River, the property provides an opportunity to acquire a quality agricultural asset in a location where land of this caliber is increasingly difficult to find. The farm includes approximately 74+/- FSA tillable acres with an impressive average CSR2 rating of 86, providing highly productive soils and a strong foundation for annual agricultural income. Hard-surface road access and convenient proximity to the Des Moines metro and area grain markets add to the property's long-term agricultural and investment appeal. Beyond the tillable acres, the property benefits from Des Moines River frontage and the recreational opportunities associated with the river corridor. The combination of river habitat, timber, and water resources creates opportunities for waterfowl and deer hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreation. The recreational component may also provide potential for additional annual income through a hunting lease. With multiple potential income streams, highly productive soils, river frontage, and a strategic location near the Des Moines metro, this property offers a unique combination of agricultural and recreational value. It presents an attractive opportunity for land investors, agricultural operators, and buyers seeking a quality income-producing Iowa land asset with long-term potential. Property taxes are approximately $3,136 annually. The farm is located at the end of East Watrous Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. Showings are available by appointment to pre-qualified buyers. ## Location - **Address:** 4900 E Watrous Ave, Des Moines, IA 50320 - **County:** Polk - **Coordinates:** 41.547407, -93.517743 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.547407,-93.517743 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Glen Salow - **Brokerage:** Farm & Rec Real Estate LLC - **Phone:** 6415080028 - **Broker Phone:** 6415080028 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/4900-E-Watrous-Ave_Des-Moines_IA_50320_M94108-68923?f=listhub&s=NYSMLS&m=11964251&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f830227326r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2087334547r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1425492325r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3274293751r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2143582396r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1989646299r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2489890760r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f431057676r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f193657674r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2206459543r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1897663063r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2212415192r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3165373266r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2267822358r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1423068962r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2150870221r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f439633534r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2396637218r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3841516702r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2598385435r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2357817012r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f2198700360r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3699121613r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1829577615r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3374109274r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f811376433r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1620937714r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1214120008r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f1887673870r.jpg) ![4900 E Watrous Ave - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/bbf1cfac4224bb3c784da9080d608611l-f3002681234r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 11964251 | **Updated:** 2026-09-04 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 My State MLS.
