    What's special

    Wooded backdropWalkout topography
    Discover a rare opportunity in West Des Moines' sought-after Grand Heights subdivision: a 3.37-acre wooded walkout homesite offering the privacy and character of mature, old-growth timber just minutes from the city. This rectangular lot's natural, established setting is difficult to find so close to town, making it an exceptional canvas for your custom home. The walkout topography adds design flexibility, opening the door to a lower-level living space or a walkout patio that takes full advantage of the wooded backdrop — a feature that's tough to replicate on a flat, open lot. Build on your terms — there's no preferred-builder requirement and no HOA to answer to. The property also welcomes detached structures, outbuildings, and toy sheds, leaving plenty of room for a shop, extra storage, or a dedicated hobby space alongside your main residence. The groundwork is already done: public water, public sewer, and electricity are all available at the lot, so you can move straight into design and permitting without waiting on infrastructure. The property is zoned residential, located within the highly regarded West Des Moines school district. Grand Heights offers wooded seclusion with everyday convenience nearby — shopping, dining, and top-rated schools are just a short drive away. Space, privacy, flexibility, and location — this premium, tree-lined homesite in one of West Des Moines' most desirable neighborhoods checks every box for your next custom build.
