If You List It, Will They Come?

The property that was featured in the 1989 Field of Dreams movie starring Kevin Costner is up for sale. The land, listed at $5.4 million, comes complete with the iconic two bedroom, one and a half bathroom farmhouse with the wrap-around porch, 193 acres of surrounding farm land, six outbuildings, and the baseball diamond (Shoeless Joe Jackson not included).

The site, near Dyersville, Iowa, has been in owner Don Lansing's family for more than a century. He and his wife Becky are ready to retire and give up the property, which has been a popular tourist destination. They have maintained the baseball field built by Universal Studios and there is even a concession stand.

The movie was based on a book by W.P. Kinsella, called Shoeless Joe.
