Across Iowa, a trio of listings highlights how space and smart improvements can shape everyday living. In Coralville’s Timber Hills, the final cul-de-sac lot offers a wooded, walkout setting between Coralville and North Liberty, ready for a custom build. In Melvin, an AS-IS two-bedroom home pairs an open-concept layout with an expansive yard and the promise of sweat equity. In Sibley, a refreshed ranch on a corner double lot blends main-floor ease with a finished lower level and recent updates.

From its elevated, wooded setting in Coralville’s Timber Hills, this hard-to-find walkout lot offers a rare chance to build on the final available cul-de-sac parcel in an established subdivision. Mature trees create a private, natural backdrop, positioned between Coralville and North Liberty while remaining just minutes from schools, shopping, and commuter routes—within the desirable Wickham Elementary district. As the last open lot in Timber Hills, it brings welcome flexibility: bring your own builder or work with the seller’s team to design a custom residence that takes full advantage of the walkout potential and wooded views. A site plan is attached for an at-a-glance look at dimensions, topography, and potential home placement, with covenants and design guidelines available through the listing agent. It’s a setting that invites quiet mornings and an easy daily rhythm.
