Remarks

Here’s your chance to own one of Dyersville’s most unique and historic properties—rich in character, packed with potential, and just minutes from the legendary Field of Dreams. Spanning 18,000+ SqFt across five connected buildings (brick, limestone, and metal) dating back to 1860, this property is a rare blend of historic charm and modern versatility—ideal for investors, entrepreneurs, or anyone chasing a big dream. Upstairs are two beautifully renovated apartments (1,796 SF and 1,250 SF), both leased and offering stunning views of the Maquoketa River and the iconic Basilica of St. Francis Xavier. Each unit has a private entrance, combining privacy with elevated small-town living. The property also features two major tourist draws: the Baseball Hall of Dreams (co-owned by Field of Dreams actor Dwier Brown) and the If You Build It exhibit. Just a block from Dyersville’s historic downtown, the location is perfect for business and buzz. Street-level commercial space (1,116 SF) offers great visibility and foot traffic—ideal for a shop, café, or boutique. River-facing garage doors open the door to endless possibilities: patio dining, event space, tubing rental, or even a brewery. A limestone section below is primed for a rustic bar or restaurant, complete with a historic well once used in brewing. The attached 4,000 SF metal building (circa 1954) includes three loading docks and plans for a sports training facility. Plus, there are 30 parking spaces on-site. A recent million-dollar renovation—led by Dwier Brown and preservation partner David Feigin—brought fresh life to this one-of-a-kind property. With unmatched character, location, and cinematic legacy, this is more than real estate—it’s a piece of Americana ready for its next chapter.
