Browse our current inventory of land across Central Iowa and surrounding communities. Each lot has been evaluated by our team for buildability, drainage, orientation, and fit for a custom Claman home. Find the right piece of ground. We’ll handle the rest.
Choosing land before you have a builder is one of the most common mistakes in custom home building. A lot that looks perfect on a Sunday drive can have drainage issues, setback restrictions, or soil conditions that add tens of thousands to your build cost.
We help families avoid that. Our licensed realtors, Tim and Sonya, evaluate every piece of land for sale in Central Iowa that we list. They assess buildability, utility access, grading, and how the lot will affect your floor plan orientation. We never let a client commit to land until we know their home will work on it.

Not every custom home client starts with our land inventory. Many families across Central Iowa already own the lot they want to build on. That works for us, too. We build on client-owned land in Central Iowa, Waukee, Clive, Ankeny, Johnston, Urbandale, and select communities in Norwalk and Cumming, as well as lake areas, for projects over $800K. We’ll evaluate your lot for buildability and help you understand how it affects your floor plan, budget, and timeline.
Whether you choose a lot from our inventory or bring your own, the path to your custom home follows The Claman Way.
Choose from our listed lots. Or bring us yours, and we’ll assess it for drainage, orientation, setbacks, and utility access.
Our in-house designer creates your floor plan from scratch. We design around your lot’s specific features, not the other way around.
You receive a fixed-price contract. The number you approve is the number you pay. Then we build it. On schedule. On budget. With you informed every step.
